It is suggested that you prepare a chronology of the events, explaining who, what, when, where, and how the harassment took place, and supplement that with all the... View More

Whether or not it is worth it to sue or accept the $900.00 settlement offer will depend on the specifics of your case and your personal circumstances.
If you feel that you have a strong case and that you could potentially recover more than $900.00 by suing the cruise line or Hilton Grand... View More

Identity theft is a crime, so one place to go is to the police, with whatever evidence you can gather about this. You might contact the testing center and request copies from "your" test, since "you" were the patient, you are entitled to them. The next place to go is to the... View More

It is obvious from your post that you need to get an attorney, you even admit you need to. You might get some leeway due to the various orders stopping court proceedings due to pandemic, but something needs to be done pronto. The good news is that if your other claims have... View More
I, an adult female, was asked to leave the dressing room because another female felt uncomfortable with me there along with a child. I believe after the employee realized I was a female and the child (11) is a male then went on to say it was because of the child being in there with females. I... View More

Very sorry to hear that an active duty US military is being treated this way. Of course you have the absolute right to enforce your rental agreement and tell them you are not moving out until it is up. IMO you don't need to subject yourself to this stress. What I would do is negotiate with... View More

Sounds like a real Catch 22 doesn't it? You go in to buy a mask because you don't have one, but they won't let you in because you don't have a mask on.
It seems to me that before they can refuse entry due to lack of a mask, they must first offer you one to wear while you... View More
The California Department of Public Health issued a GUIDANCE on June 18/20 stating that "People in California must wear face coverings..."
- Is a GUIDANCE the same and an Order or a Law?
- Can police enforce this guidance?
- What can you be charged with if you do not choose to wear a mask?
answered on Jun 20, 2020
The new orders issued yesterday and today from the Office of the Governor now create a state-wide mandate for the use of masks in public places. This means if you are over 2 years old (because if you are under 2 you cannot read the Order) you have to wear a face mask, waiting in line to enter a... View More

So sorry to hear about this. The value of the rental directly corresponds to the quality of the Rental, and it sounds like the condition has seriously negatively affected the quality. A rental comes with a "Warranty of Habitability" and if the LANDLORD breaches that warranty, your... View More
