There seems to be a widespread belief that the paper you signed, often called the purchase agreement or the sales agreement or the contract, is irrelevant because they are all the same. They are not. Further, there is appears to be a widespread belief that an interview to determine all of the facts... View More

You are going to need an Iranian lawyer.

You need a lawyer to review the purchase agreement and all subsequent correspondence. There is a decent chance that the damages are limited to the deposit, but, either way, you might just compute the actual damages and pay them.

Your question is barely comprehensible. You need help constructing it. But, I think the answer will turn on the contents of the documents. You need a legal review of all relevant contracts, whether we are talking about the construction agreements, the home purchase contract, or any relevant HOA... View More

You desperately need a lawyer to assist you through probate, and the legal fees will easily be paid out of the sale proceeds from the house. This is a rather easy matter, and you are confused enough to lose the house in the confusion. If you have been appointed administrator of the estate, you need... View More

Those seem to be your legal conclusions as might some day be reached by a court after trial. Perhaps you should review the facts with a lawyer privately and ask questions about whether your facts meet those legal standards.

Well, it’s customary for lawyers not to solicit clients on a forum like this when answering questions, but the form you are looking for is a Deed in Lieu of Foreclisure, assuming you closed the take-back note correctly and the borrower will consent. There are many issues to consider in a Deed in... View More

You should speak to a lawyer. Virginia law prohibits concealing latent defects, misrepresentation of real estate, and other consumer frauds. Damages can include three times the cost of repairs, attorneys fees, and other damages.

If the contract that you signed was contingent upon court approval, then you were probably out of luck.

Of course, the heirs can claim title. In most circumstances, I would then reiterate the teachings of a professor of mine from Penn, and I'd say that any idiot can make a claim if they have a pen, paper, and the filing fee. Usually, prospective clients want to know if they can win, and can be a... View More

No, your offer should simply describe your offer in sufficient detail to be unambiguous. The allocation of closing costs is adequately described in every standard local or state contract form I have seen, though there are often other provisions that should be changed, such as extraordinary...

My office is in Alexandria City. I have no experience with Virginia Beach. Sorry.

Generally, family members are not considered tenants, however, if you want to make them vacate the premises, you will have to proceed with the requirements for an unlawful detainer in court since self-help, such as refusing the use of the washer and the kitchen, is prohibited in residential lease...

Question: "If I win as per the terms of our contract (no proper notification,, no communication until way way later, no nothing) do the damages still exist then to sue me later?"

There's a few things going on with your question and some assumptions that I need to make in... View More

To be safe, I would appear at court to make certain the case is dismissed.

Virginia courts are most likely to enforce leases exactly as they are written. You may, however, need to defend your position in court, and that may cost more than the amount in dispute. Most of the cases before the judge will have little or no defense, and there will be a large number of cases, so... View More

The answer depends on what the lease says as to whether you can depart the lease on January 26th with no further obligations. If you are asking whether you may stay as a free permanent guest of the landlord because he fails to produce a renewal timely, that also depends on the lease, but it is... View More

It depends on how the lease is written, but if you replaced the other person, who may be held liable for the default.

Possible.

I have never heard of a landlord or landlord representative removing carpeting from one rental unit, reinstalling it in another unit and charging the tenant for the unusable carpeting. Generally, carpeting is a depreciable asset and the landlord is not entitled to charge the tenant for replacing... View More
