I have a noncompete in my urgent care contract. My boss is not fulfilling the hours or my bonus according to my contract so I'm leaving. It is stated as "not over 50% walk in volume" which would apply to emergency rooms too. I'm ER trained with a doctorate in EM. Can this urgent... View More

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.

Alghoug i was told there was no fee. What to do

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
The lawsuit is coming from a loan company that has acquired a lawyer for representation. I think I got the term "Consent Judgement" correct. With that being said, since the judgement was approved by the courts, is it still necessary for me to go to court?

It is probably an Agreed Judgment. I recommend you still go to Court to get the agreed money Judgment entered. Sometimes bad things happen, and it is difficult to rectify them. That creditor's attorney might forget about your agreement and enter the full ad damnum, plus attorney fees... View More

answered on Nov 1, 2023
You should retain counsel to demand copies of all contracts. You have your suspicions about fraud and you should discuss the facts underlying these suspicions with counsel. Your prior contracts should be provided to counsel to review to identify to whom such demands should be made.

In Tennessee, you can send notification of contract renewal 60 days prior on an invoice or in a separate letter. The Tennessee Automatic Renewal Law does not specify how the notice must be sent, only that it must be sent at least 60 days before the contract renews. However, there are some benefits... View More
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.

If the other party to the lease contract accepts that name as a signature, then it supposedly becomes a contract. But I would never advise anyone to execute a contract in that function. It may be unenforceable. Usually a signature would be ...John Doe d/b/a Doe Services...

And many title co. will require an unnecessary Probate which takes more than a year to close. Was earnest money involved? If so, give that back. The buyer suing you for... View More

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.
