if a business is sold are the prior contracts enforceable?

Answered 13 years and 7 months ago by Mr. Richard Alan Alsobrook (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
It depends on the language in the contract.  If there is a clause excusing performance because of a change in ownership, the contract might be voided.  However, the simple fact that the company has new ownership likely does not excuse performance of the contract. This is not intended to be legal advice, and is general in its nature. No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this information. Furthermore, this does not represent the views or opinions of LexisNexis or its affiliated companies.... Read More

If my employer never signed my non compete contract is it valid?

Answered 13 years and 10 months ago by Hank Gracin (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
It could still be valid because you signed it and they will argue that they relied on that. The real issue on enforceability is not their signature but how broad and reasonable the restrictions are. If the non-compete is overbroad, it will not be enforced.  An attorney can help you review the terms to see where you stand. Hope this helps.... Read More

Answered 13 years and 10 months ago by Nancy J Flint (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
AT&T apparently wants to get rid of its unlimited data plan customers so it reportedly has slowed down their service under certain conditions.If your contract does not state that you are entitled to a certain data speed, then you may have a hard time making them change this practice.

What exactly does a 60 day notice of non renewal mean?

Answered 14 years ago by Ms. Salome J Zikakis (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
Without reviewing the actual language of your lease it is difficult to respond to your question. Presuming the lease language states that the lease automatically renews unless you notify the landlord at least 60 days prior to the end of the current lease term, then this would mean you would have to notify the landlord 60 days before 3/31/12 that you did not intend to renew the lease.  Your question does not indicate whether the landlord is seeking to hold you to another year or is seeking two month's rent or what. Unless you wish to retain counsel to review your lease and provide direct counsel to you based on the actual lease terms, I suggest speaking to the landlord and working out a compromise. The foregoing is specific to the law and procedure in Florida.  This response does not constitute legal advice as the facts presented are limited and unstated facts will likely impact your particular situation. This response is intended for general education only and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please schedule a consultation with a local attorney for more specific and detailed answers to your legal issues. ... Read More

renting in Florida & lease will end April 30,2012. purchasing a house & because will b without lease 2-3 month rent increased by$205. can it be done

Answered 14 years ago by Ms. Salome J Zikakis (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
Presuming your existing lease is silent as to the amount of rent after the lease termination date, then it is up to you and the landlord to agree on the terms for any rental beyond the lease termination date. The landlord does not have to continue to rent to you, and you do not have to agree to pay and stay after the lease termination date.  If you factor in the costs for a double move, perhaps the rent increase is less than the cost of a double move. If not and you find somewhere less expensive to stay while you wait for your house closing, then leave. Otherwise, either negotiate a better deal for yourself, pay the rent to stay until your house closing or try to move up the date for your house closing.   The foregoing is specific to the law and procedure in Florida.  This response does not constitute legal advice as the facts presented are limited and unstated facts will likely impact your particular situation.
