    I need advice and help!

    There are two issues here. Does a failed water heather fall within the scope of "repairs to the interior and exterior of the building"? An argument could be made that a water heater is no more part of the building than a dishwasher or refrigerator. The second sentence is interesting, but...

    Removing the wife and daughter from the counter suit

    What was being settled? Was your daughter an adult or a minor at the time this contract was made? While it's not clear, I assume the antecedent of "them" in this sentence is your wife and daughter. Correct? On what basis do you believe you have a claim for breach of contract? If the...

    Fraud, Embezzlement, Bad Checks When a family "dines and dashes", who is it normal to actually arrest?

    I'm not sure who "they" are or why you think anyone would attempt to make such a determination. All of the thieves are subject to arrest and prosecution. Huh? Again, huh? Answer these questions (except for the last one, they all should be answered with only a single word or a date): 1...

    I need advice and help!

    Let me rephrase this: Two years ago, you, as tenant, entered into a residential lease. It's not clear whether the lease was originally for a particular term, but if it was, that initial term has expired. The lease contains a standard provision that states that, upon expiration of the initial...

    When married couple fills out Lady Bird deed ?

    Let's put it this way: if only one owner's name is on the deed, then only that owner's interest is being conveyed. Also, "owned jointly" tells us nothing other than that there is more than one owner.

    Conflicting Instructions at 2 different Law Office Websites

    And I cannot stress how important it is for your family member to retain an attorney, as opposed to relying on you to seek information from anonymous strangers at message boards and from blogs and generic attorney website posts. Considering we've told you this previously in response to your...

    Back out of Rental/Lease agreement

    One can go online and submit an application (which typically requires payment of an application fee and/or credit check fee) and, after the application is approved, the landlord will send a lease to be signed (which can be one online). But I've never heard of a landlord who allows potential...

    NYS/NYC - Dash cam footage

    Are we dealing with a real situation, or is this thread just a bunch of hypotheticals with shifting facts?

    Unpaid referral bonus

    When exactly did this happen? I assume these times are in reference to the date of hire of the new employee. Correct? What was the date of the referral agreement? What is the distinction/relationship between "my business," "the corporate office," and "my direct employer"? Please make up...

    Response from defendant

    Exactly how long ago? What exactly does this mean? How far "outside of [the] business" did this happen? How much were the medical bills? Did you lose wages as a result? If so, how much? Have you fully recovered? To what extent, if any, has this impacted your life (beyond any lost wages...

    What am I entitled to if tenant doesn't carry out full term of lease?

    If you sell the house the day after the tenant moves out, then you will have incurred no damages and would therefore have nothing to sue for. You could sue, but you'd lose because that's entirely speculative. You have a lease for the following obvious reason: You wouldn't have let the...

    NYS/NYC - Dash cam footage

    You need to put your insurer on notice of what happened. Your policy requires that you do so. If you believe the other driver was at-fault, you can and should make a claim against his/her insurance. Note that I believe NY is a no-fault insurance state. I'm not familiar with that, so I don't...

    Essential documents when trustee dies

    I assume you mean that she was the trustee of a trust that held title to the house (I'll assume it was her home). Just to be clear: You recorded an affidavit of death of trustee and then, in your capacity as trustee, deeded the house to yourself as an individual. Correct? Deeds are...

    NYS/NYC - Dash cam footage

    A decision about what? I assume you're talking about a dashcam video or something of that ilk. Regardless, both parties' insurers will want to see all available evidence before making claims decisions.

    Correct wording for Part 2 of the PCOR when transferring property out of a Trust

    I agree. Also, anyone providing an answer to your question is either really dumb (if that person is licensed to practice in CA) or engaging in the unlicensed practice of law.

    Landlord didn't use legal name on lease

    So...something like "Kathryn" instead of "Katherine"? Is this "manager" also the trustee of the trust? Are you saying that the trust owns 99% of the home, while the manager owns 1%? Nothing you have posted suggests you do. How the person's name is spelled is irrelevant, and you appear to...

    Landlord charged me more than legal security deposit

    Let me rephrase this: You are not in the military (not sure why this needed to be mentioned, but whatever). On [date], you entered into negotiations with a landlord to rent residential premises. On [date], the landlord presented you with a lease that requires a security deposit that is...

    What am I entitled to if tenant doesn't carry out full term of lease?

    If all they do is try to move out, why would you think you'd have any claim against the tenants? Even if they actually move out, you don't necessarily have a claim. Residential leases don't generally obligate the tenant to occupy the leased premises. You'd only have a claim if the tenant...

    Wearing sports Jerseys such as NFL in videos?

    Depends on the contents of the videos. Define "imitation." 43. Seriously, this question cannot be meaningfully answered in the abstract. Probably fine, but the NFL in particular is notorious for over-enforcing its copyright and trademark rights. That's true as far as it goes, but the...
