Contracts are designed to handle issues that may come up in the future related to a transaction. Unfortunately, no contract can handle everything and human error can cause problems for the contract. The information you gave so far leaves room for multiple arguments on what should happen in your... View More

First, it sounds as if the only agreement you signed is the one you both co-signed for the purchase of the car. The normal expectation is that you have the right to continue to pay the car loan on time until it is paid off. If you failed to do so, and the co-signer had to step in to save the... View More

A Utah attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. There wasn't a question here, but if you are interested in using small claims courts, most unified statewide court systems include online resources for small claims court. Their resources for the public generally... View More

There is no rule. You can actually rent a property without a lease if both parties agree to do so. This is called a month to month tenancy. Leases are recommended as it gives stability and allows the parties to have a signed document confirming everything agreed upon. If you have no lease, you are... View More

Yes. A power of attorney can be prepared which is broad to allow her to sign anything for you, or limited to just apartment applications and lease.

If you are refinancing your home, the bank is required by law to give you 3 business days to change your mind and cancel. So the bank doesn't allow the funding to be released for 3 business days. The bank rarely will send the funds early to the title company, but they will tell them not to... View More

You should look at your lease agreement, but typically you have to give 30 days notice before someone can terminate the lease.

So, it automatically renews if no one has given notice of "non-renewal of lease" for another 30 days. Unless you haven't paid rent, he... View More

Hello,

I am sorry that you are in this situation. I am not sure that you have a question in your comments. It does sound like you are on the right side of the law and you could start enforcing the breach of contract actions that are most likely listed in your agreement. Maybe there is a... View More

The answer lies in the state where you will be going to school. Whether or not you can sign a contract with someone will depend mostly on them. If they want to let you sign it and then try to enforce it later when it was signed by a minor, that is the landlord's problem. They might still... View More

If the condo is in Nevada, then you will need an opinion from a Nevada attorney. Suing someone for interference with a contract is possible, but normally you have to prove exactly how much money you lost. If you sell the home to someone new, and get the same amount as was in the original contract,... View More

It looks like some of the other ordinary resources that post UCC 9-105 (Control of Electronic Chattel - Paper) do not include them. You posted under Admiralty/Maritime - I checked but could not find cross references under ordinary maritime laws I work with. The attorneys familiar with banking... View More

You don't have to sue her in California, you only have to get her served there. You can sue her in Utah. I would suggest going through the small claims court here. If you know where she lives, then file suit here, hire a process server to serve her the summons and complaint, if she... View More

The answer would depend on which municipality issued your SOB license. It also depends on what exactly you are being charged with. An arrest or conviction could possibly impact your license. You should contact an attorney immediately if you have been charged in connection with the recent protests.... View More

Definitely. When you cosign, the person you are helping gets a house or car and you normally get nothing. If that is the case, and you have to make the payments, you can demand that they give you the house or car, or at a minimum make their own payments.

You need an attorney who practices eviction and real estate law.

This is obviously a very difficult situation. The short answer is look to your contract. Unless it specifically promises you will get the damages you are describing, you are not likely to get them.

Your relationship with the buyer is tightly controlled by the deadlines in your Real Estate... View More

You only have 3 days to cancel the lease agreement if the lease agreement gives you that option. There is no state or federal statute that will give you that right. If the place is deficient or "uninhabitable" then you would be able to cancel on the ground that the Landlord is breaching... View More

If your eviction is still pending, a landlord-tenant attorney could advise in the best manner - or given the difficult situation, you may have already decided to start looking into other places at this point. Good luck

No. Bonuses, though voluntarily paid on top of other compensation by your employer, are still considered wages in the eyes of the IRS. Bonuses are paid for past performance, with the hope that you will continue to work at that level.

Once they have paid you, they can't take it back.... View More

You can take them to small claims court. It will cost at least $100 to file the claim. You will need to show proof of when you were made a manager and started doing work that managers do. You will want to weigh the effects of suing your own company with the benefit of obtaining the unpaid $300.... View More
