My landlord basically said If I hire someone to work on my house then he will not pay for the labor but he didn't say if I worked on the house that I couldn't charge him for labor
No. You would need a contract. Otherwise it would be deemed a gift. Contracts involving real estate need to be in writing. This would be a contract for services so I not too sure. Always better to have something in writing. Good Luck.
An adult takes a minor that is not their child to a trip. Would a disclaimer with the minor's guardian make sure that the adult is not responsible for any accident happen during the trip?
A Texas attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. As a general matter nationwide, some courts tend to frown upon certain types of injury disclaimers from the standpoint of public policy, despite the fact that they are used. You can continue to await a response here, but... Read more »
We got ripped off by a solar company in 2020, when we were busy working 16+ hour days while taking care of kids at home. The salesperson said that the panels would cover 100% of our electric needs but it only covers 75% at best and the payments are as much as the electric costs without solar. The... Read more »
unfortunately, you can't simply "remove" a UCC financing statement. It has to be done either by court order after a lawsuit or by agreement of the parties. What your rights are regarding these representations depends in large part on what your contract with the solar panel company... Read more »
I had a mentor that would have me sign contract with “businesses” that were really not real. Not only were they not real but I was paying him upwards of 4000 a month to him. $300 was legitimate as he would meet with me as a mentor. I however have a contract through him with his parents who i... Read more »
It sounds like you have multiple contracts with this person, and he has multiple assumed names (the business names on the contracts.) If you are not receiving the services you contracted for, you may be due a refund.
As to the car, it's impossible to tell from your description... Read more »
So details ( I’m not delinquent on rent) I have a friend who had kidney disease and was on dialysis. He couldn’t work and was on his death bed. I took him in and made sure he went to his appointments and he was on disability but it barely covered anything. His dialysis clinic let him know of a... Read more »
Your rights are limited to the terms of the lease you signed. The fact that the manager may know that your friend is there doesn't change the terms of the lease.

For about another year I was called crazy this and that so went to FL. For mental rehabilitation. So... Read more »
Well, here's the problem. You haven't asked a question or sought any legal analysis from us. I really don't like to assume that I can read your mind and determine what is is you want to know. However, if you want to know whether you can be kicked out of this residence, then the... Read more »
I was targeted by an aggressive door to door salesman, I was coerced and pressured into signing a contract for a Kirby vacuum and promised monthly payments of $105.49, $2,800 payoff before 36 months and $3,797.64 if I’m still paying after 36 months, 21% interest rate. I was turned over to a... Read more »
First, I recommend that everyone Always keep their own records of payments made, either by making the payments in a way that generates a record (like a check) or by keeping a copy of the payments made. That way you are never in the position of having to look for a receipt.
As to whether... Read more »
I have 60% of the company and want to keep the same branding. But need to have full control of the new line. Can this be as simple as putting the agreement in the operating agreement and filing for a single member LLC where I have 100% control. My main goal is to keep the branding and customer... Read more »
It's doubtful that you could assume complete control of a product line of the original LLC simply by starting a new LLC, and even taking a new business opportunity from the original LLC may be problematic. Presumably you would also need to have ownership of that product line & branding... Read more »
I had an opportunity for a high rate consulting opportunity with a former client
They contacted me with a intermediate company who agreed I could use them as a third party for billing purposes provided I had a llc
I obtained the llc at a cost of 800 dollars and 4 days later they... Read more »
I can't tell whether you actually had a contract, or were just discussing and negotiating an "opportunity." In the meantime, it doesn't sound like you "lost" $800, but rather that you set up an LLC that you can't use for the deal you didn't get, and you can... Read more »
I am in Texas, and bought a car from a Buy Here Pay Here dealership a few months ago. I ended running into financial troubles, and the car was repossessed. Because my financial situation was so bad at the time, I ended up letting the car go. After doing some research I learned they could still... Read more »
They can still collect it and will attempt to collect it in the future. Be very careful dealing with the car lot.
They are saying this is from added interest if payments are made past the due date. Is this legal?
When you say that the finance company is stating that you still owe money on the ground that payments were made past the due date, does this means that even recognizing having paid fully, are you also admitting that those payments were made not according the the schedule on the contract?...

While I agree that they sent more information than was probably necessary, you don't have any apparent damages as a result of this action, and no claim arises from the facts you describe.
Per my realtor the answer was no. Is there anyway I can back out? Of course after paying the buyers back for anything they have spent on inspection and ETC
There may be a way out of the deal. The contract for sale of the property will have language on this issue. If there is "specific performance" or other language that allows the buyer to have a court force you to complete the sale, then you have a problem, and can not stop the sale.... Read more »
I have been divorced for a long time. I've recently remarried and I'm updating my insurance beneficiary with Knights of Columbus. They asked for a copy of my divorce decree and replied with this: It appears the divorce decree did not have any information concerning your KOFC policy. We... Read more »
1. Because Texas is a community property state, when an insured is/was married, it can cause problems for a beneficiary later on because the surviving spouse can claim that s/he is entitled to some of the policy payout.
2. If you don't pay the premiums, the policy will simply lapse.
i just want to see if this something illegal I’m getting roped into? I have received check via email from a woman I was talking to online. On the checks, they have a Life Insurance company at the top of the checks. they are asking that I deposit them into my bank via mobile deposit, keep partial... Read more »
This is almost certainly a scam and very likely a crime. Life insurance companies don't send checks and ask you to return some of the funds.
My son is buying a condo. After he closes, I want to give him half the down payment in exchange for half ownership. What will be required?
He will have to execute a Deed to you for a one/half interest as a tenant in common.
But apparently it will be subject to a security interest, and the lender might exercise a due on sale clause for foreclosure. Hire a competent attorney prior to the condo purchase. You might be better... Read more »

If you are referring to patent 6445969, inventors Jim Kenney and John Leon, this patent has expired and is now in the public domain. If you look it up on Google patents, you can see the details.

If you have a lease signed by the home owner, you are in good shape. On the first day of the lease, you need to be there and occupy the house. That will solidify your tenancy.
