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

It is difficult to know how to respond to your question without more information. Certainly, if someone has falsified a document and used it in court, there is no way a judge would allow the document to be used UNLESS no one testified or proved that the document was fake. On a different point, if... View More

Seller must, by law, deliver "marketable title." Failure to do so is actionable. Contact the DMV Investigations unit and open an inquiry. Also, seek out a consumer protection attorney for more input.

The one day lease isn't the problem. A contract (including a lease) is not valid if it has zero obligations. You are also limited in the number of legal tenants to two per bedroom. Further, it seems likely that such a lease would be deemed to have an "illegal purpose" and be void... View More

You have three choices: (1) you can call the company and see if they will restructure the debt, although they are not obligated to do so, since you already have a contract to repay; (2) do nothing and you will have a judgment entered on your credit records and will likely be subpoenaed to attend a...

If he didn’t sign the amendment, it’s ineffective. It doesn’t need to be notarized, but it does need to be signed by the trustmaker. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but to tell you otherwise is just wishful thinking.

A separation agreement is really nothing more than a settlement agreement. The employer is offering to settle any claims you may have against it in exchange for a payment of money. Whether or not you sign the agreement as presented or not will depend whether you have any valuable claims. You may... View More

International law can be tricky. IMO you need to go to the American Embassy with a POA in English and have it notarized by a consulate official there in order to have the best effect. The POA will be in the name of whomever you choose to act on your behalf. Have you contacted your LL to see if he... View More

I know weddings can be very expensive, however, it may be difficult to find an attorney by posting a question on this site, Our TOS do not allow us to write a response that solicits you to call us. You have to find an attorney and call them. Next, there is no "automatic cancellation."... View More

I had a case like this several years ago, but in that case, it was changed because the salesmen did so WELL! Sometimes these plans contain language saying that they can be unilaterally changed/discontinued at any time. That may not be an enforceable term of the contract. If you were paid the... View More

It would be unwise for you to do anything to manipulate a signature from someone else. Your problem is both a legal one and technical one. You need a better online document. There are currently several platforms available to create the contract with signatures, and I just had to sign several for... View More

You need to take all documents and copies of all communications with the LL to an attorney for a consultation. There is no simple answer to this question in these difficult times with CV. Many cities that have universities have enacted ordinances to deal with this problem and allow tenants to... View More

The LL is supposed to actively look for tenants. You should consider going to small claims and seeking full refund of your deposit. It appears you will come under some renter protection provisions of recent government ordinances imposed by the Governor's office. You can research these... View More

Surprising to hear that Disney took this stance with respect to you. Usually, what the patron wants, the patron gets because an unhappy patron does not return. I would start by sending a notice of rescission to them by certified mail, RRR, stating that you are rescinding the contract on the basis... View More

Very sorry to hear your travel plans went poorly. No one can give you a definitive answer on how the case will be decided. Typical Attorney Answer: It depends.

First of all you have special protections and rights under the SELLER OF TRAVEL STATUTE, CALIFORNIA BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS... View More

I agree with Mr. Kaufman that you may need an attorney to sort this out. However, your question does not indicate whether you have contacted the university directly to find out what there policy is, and what writing is it based on. Some schools have a refund policy based upon a timeline that... View More

If the lease has been fully executed and there is no early termination clause or some other termination clause then it appears you have a tenancy for the term of the lease. This is the exact purpose of a lease - to provide the landlord and tenant certainty for a set price and term.

The landlord can initiate an unlawful detainer against you and the remaining subtenants if you issue a 30 day notice to terminate the tenancy and your subtenants do not move out on or before your termination date.

You would be well served to initiate the termination of your... View More

Some lease provisions include a clause that it is subject to a credit check where the landlord has the option to void the lease. But to do so they must return your deposit.

If the landlord cashed your check, or kept your cash, and refuses to return it, then they are obligated to honor the... View More

You can break your lease if the landlord has materially breached the lease - meaning the landlord has not performed an important duty that is subject to the lease. If the landlord has been performing their part pursuant to the terms of the lease then they are entitled to the rent.

However,... View More
