My goal is to respond to a government-issued RFP to sell land for a new building site by offering the land for sale, gauge the interest of the government entity to see what they are willing to pay, then use that information to buyout the rest of the co-owners so that I can make a profit on the...

I do not understand your stated strategy. However if you are a tenant in common of an one/quarter undivided interest in the real property, you can only convey what you own. Any representation that you can convey a fee to ten acres is fraud. The proposed purchaser would probably find out... View More
My mom passed in October and didn’t leave a will. Me and my two older sisters, of course, inherit her house. The oldest has her own home and doesn’t want any ownership.

I am sorry for the loss of your mother.
I am assuming you are correct that you and your two sisters inherited the house. Based upon this the three sisters have an undivided 1/3 interest in the property. I understand you and a sister live in the house. The third sister owns an interest... View More
Recently I was booted by my school, then told if I didn't sign an agreement to pay their parking fees they would keep the boot on my car. I'd like to challenge that staff member and campus officer to mutual combat via fisticuffs (with the nessicary PPE provided by myself).

No, it is illegal to engage in mutual combat in Tennessee, even if both parties consent to it. Mutual combat is considered a form of assault and is prohibited by law. Engaging in mutual combat can result in criminal charges and other legal consequences. Additionally, attempting to challenge a... View More
A member has decided, of their own will, to leave the LLC. The LLC is in debt and doesn't have an operating agreement. Does the withdrawing member owe any money to the LLC as buying themselves out?
answered on Jan 24, 2023
Depends on the debt. Are they personally obligated? Is the business just in debt? Or does it have a positive fair market value? Typically, without an operating agreement, when a member quits the LLC pays fair market under TCA 48-249-505. But there are other considerations as well. Consult counsel... View More
It is my understanding that it is not enough for one party to prove he/she did not intend a binding contract but must prove that both parties agreed there was no binding contract between them. Is this correct in TN law?
answered on Jan 10, 2023
Both parties must agree to as to the formation of a contract - a unilateral "contract" generally would not be binding. But contracts can be formed by one party requesting an action and the other party performing and the performance is an acceptance- so your question's answer may be fact specific.

Contract actions usually exclude consequential damages. Tort claims might include such damages. No
small claims court in TN. General Sessions Court might allow it, but it sounds like a breach of contract action, so no.

It appears that the contract will be breached by your working in an ER. Hire an attorney to read the contract and listen to the prospective new jobs. You may get sued in any event and have an attorney ready to go.

Not sure what "paying online" has to do with this. You must pay rent as the Lease requires or modified by both parties. Otherwise you breach the contract and may be the defendant on a detainer warrant.

I joind a trainer program at my local gym, was told that i can cancel any time free. Its a contract. After requesting to cancel, i was suprise to hear a $300 early cancelition fee.
Alghoug i was told there was no fee. What to do
answered on Nov 12, 2023
A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. Written terms generally prevail over verbal ones. One option could be to try to reach a compromise on the fee - getting an attorney involved could cost more than the amount in dispute here. Good luck
Can they give me a move out or eviction date if I do not fill out a contract with them before 7/31/24? Can they increase my rent before 7/31/24 without me signing any new documents? I'm new to Tennessee and really need help. Thank you.

New titled owner takes property subject to tenant in possession. So they should be bound by the
existent lease unless it has some contrary term. Read the lease or hire an attorney to consult. However it is easy to find a reason for a Detainer Warrant.

That is your decision.. But you will not be able to file a M & M Lien, and probably will not get paid anymore. Suit now, or better, filing the Lien now, will probably yield better results.

There is also no law requiring the repair shop to provide them.

You might inform seller you are paying only the actual contract amount of 4.9%. Especially in OH it will be difficult to repossess. Tell them if they have a problem you will call Davidson County Sheriff about the Forgery, which a lawyer cannot do.
