Sorry to hear about your predicament. I'm not sure if there is anything one can do except somehow come up with the money and then try to recover the damages against the third party. I'm very sortty to hear and hope things eventually turn out okay for you...

I don't think that you really have a case and I'm sorry. Your decision to leave was your own. Could you sue him for damages? Possibly in that you relied upon his promises. My guess is that you might be able to recover for moving expenses but for pain and suffering... unlikely. You will not get...

First try to rerent the property. Get a new tenant. Sue for the difference first in small claims court. The tenant probably won't show. If you get a default judgment you can place a lien on the tenant and the tenant will have its joys when trying to buy, sell or deal with property the next time...

Really sorry to hear about the road. Fighting zoning is very tough. The best to do is make a campaign to make sure that the mayor is not reelected. I'm sure that he will not be happy. I would create a site and campaign that is informative, not crazy angry. Let people know that the mayor will...

I'm not 100% sure but I do know that you'll have to speak to the US consulate anyways. They will be able to give you direct information. This is their site in case it didn't appear: http://www.usembassycanada.gov/index.asp There is also some more information in this thread...

It's a long time away since the 1991 event to plead ineffective assistance of counsel. This is a tough call and I'm sure that there are many facts we aren't hearing in your summary. You may need to speak to a good attorney to handle this. Exactly what is the reason for the deportation and are...

A guarantee can be in any form, verbal or written althoug it's easier to prove the latter. While you can go to small claims, this could be a touch case and you might have a tough time getting more than half of what you seek and half if you are lucky. With used cars, as anything, unless the...

No question it is a useful thread. It is unfortunate that companies sometimes are not as helpful as we would like or hope for them to be. Ebay is a HUGE source of fraud, in fact one of the largest. There is very little protection one has and is a reason why I never make high ticket purchases...

You absolutely do have a case in court. How did you pay for the truck? Show proof of payment and that will help your case. Technically you could report the vehicle as being stolen but I wonder how seriously they will take you considering it is almost 9 months later. You should take him to...

I would. You probably owe him a month's rent unless you have a reason to have terminated the lease for breach. You had at least a "month to month" agreement with him that would probably, under law, be able to be terminated with one month's prior notice. You might owe him two month's rent if it...

Don't worry T. This is probably one of the most popular topics you'll see on Judge Judy! Judges aren't usually gullible people. They know the circumstances of a relationship and the "sour grapes" motivations for filing suit. But there is an appearance here of something a little different -- a...

I'm not sure what "non liability" law is and it probably protects the lot owner. A "use at your own risk" warning usually occurs when there are latent conditions or dangerous conditions that are out of the ordinary that an injury might be forseeable. If a manufacturing plant knows that ash...

It means that the Court doesn't guarantee that the defendant will pay on that they can give you instruments to get paid. For example, they can order the defendant pay but if he doesn't, you'll have to follow up and ask the court for permission to garnish wages, freeze a bank account, and more...

Jack -- what basis do you have to sue company B, especially if they are not a part of the contract? Second, why do you think that you can sue each of A and B for DOUBLE the debt? Third, we don't have the substance of your transaction or the contract language so it makes it even harder without...

1) You are correct that anyone can accept a summons. But that doesn't mean any judgment is enforceable. It isn't!!! :D That alone would get you off the hook. You can do an "order to show cause" to dismiss the case based upon the fact that service was improper and not to you. That doesn't mean...

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. You should probably talk to her first and see what she say about not having the boyfriend stay any more, especially without him being on the lease. You wil probably do best by also making her understand that you cannot accept responsibility for him living...

Why would your attorney do this? Was there any good reason to "refile" the case? There may have been so consider that before you take any action. No, the attorney cannot disregard your wishes with regard to strategy provided it does not violate any rule of ethics or law. Before you start...

If she is not on the lease then you can always tell them that you will raise this issue with the landlord. I doubt the landlord will be so forgiving. I also wonder whether this issue is covered in your lease agreement and will guess that it is addressed and not in the couples' favor.

If he is not paying rent then they should be out. You will be unable to rent the room if they are still in there and you could hold him financially responsible for the storage. If you intend to remove them, you should give him written notice and a reasonable time to pick them up. You can state...

Unfortunately Bill has it right. You'll have to evict for non-payment. You may want to take your brother to small claims court -- right now you know where he lives! I would sue him for the money too, even if it comes down to a case of credibility. You never know. Good luck to you and I'm very...
