Appeal home real estate appraisal

Answered a year and 7 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
Not sure what the question is as opposed to simply voicing a complaint. You're best bet is to retain a real estate lawyer to review your situation and direct any inquiry to them. This is likely the fact that your "overpayment" established the value of the property for taxes. The neighbor may be grandfathered in with a lower tax base. ... Read More

Most likely someone filed a Unlawful Detainer and you did not respond maybe do to lack of service.   Either way, the eviction is about possession not ownership.  You need to hire an attorney to file a suit to enforce your rights.   DAVID

No way to answer such a question without ALL of the details involved including what the obligations of the PM were. That said is rare that a PM will agree to be financially responsible for cleaning and repairs as that essentially places them in the defacto position of a "subletter" and can result in a zero or negative profit situation depending on the property and tenant. Here it seems you indicate that the PM was somehow obligated to pay for the repairs, etc. as opposed to pass the info on to you for you to pay for them. I point this out because some of what you describe might be a financial wash......You will likely need to retain a lawyer to address this properly which might not be viable for a $3-4k dispute. For furture reference  - this is EXACTLY why written contracts are so important. ... Read More

No way to tell without reviewing the contract terms or policies of the facility. Many "registration fees" for such facilities are non-refundable for (a) to cover admin costs and (b) to deter parents from reserving one spot and then go shopping for others, leaving the facility with the expense and effort of finding another child to fill the slot. By example here, it seems the facility was provided less than 2 weeks notice and that might also be an issue. Depending on the amount at issue, it may or may not be worth the expense. ... Read More

wrong social security number on my contract

Answered a year and 7 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
Your post is a bit confusing as it would make no sense that your existing finance company for the the motorcycle would have a bad SSN caused by the new seller. If there is a wrong SSN on the new contract, that should be easily addressed by bringing this to the attention of the seller and the new lender for the HRV. If this continues unresolved you will likely need to spend the money to hire a lawyer and can use the find a lawyer feature for that.... Read More

This is a matter of contract and warranty terms. You describe 2 different issues - aesthetics and quality. If you are not able to secure a remedy with the manufacturer, you may need to spend the money to hire a lawyer to intervene. Use the find a lawyer feature for that.

Do I have a case?

Answered a year and 8 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
There is no means to answer such a question absent actually hiring a lawyer to review the contract terms. I can honestly say I have never seen a "lifetime warranty" on a wearable/consumable mechanical product like an entire vehicle. That immediately suggest something is shady about such a warranty from the onset. You need to retain a lawyer BEFORE you do anything further. ... Read More

Removed of a hand shake deal tenet

Answered a year and 8 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
There should be no expectation that the case "goes smoothly" because of the situation you created. You did not have a lawyer address the tenancy nor have a lease so there is no reason to expect that doing more without a lawyer is likely to get a better result. You need to retain a landlord lawyer immediately or risk this going off the rails further and becoming an even bigger problem. ... Read More

This post is confusing in that you reference you paid $4,500.00 for repairs but claim they were submitted to and paid for by warranty company. That said, you likely need to retain a lawyer to review this issue and address it as filing a lawsuit on your own is rarely productive.

I think I'm being scammed with my mobile home

Possibly so, though its a difficult issue to address 3 years after the fact. You will need to retain a lawyer to address this though it will likely cost you more than 3k in legal fees to do so.

No such thing as every case is different as is every time share agreement. That said, you conflate credit issues with legal liabilities - they are not the same. You may have to sacrifice your credit, to get out of the ongoing payment obligations or financial exposures, whether from stopping payments or bankruptcy and likely spending money on lawyers to try to get you out of the agreement under a variety of arguments that might exist. "Talking to" lawyers is not the same as actually hiring one - any more than talking to an oncologist address your mole or tumor vs actually hiring one. Use thefind a lawyer feature to locate and hire a lawyer ASAP. ... Read More

Do have I have a case against this abuser?

Answered a year and 10 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
Unfortunately, in most everywhere in Florida - A/C is not required by statute as a condition to rent a property. That said a verbal 45 day notice to terminate a tenancy is not proper (has to be in writing) nor is it proper when there is a lease. Same with the fence. There is no 60 day notice in Florida. You may need to retain a tenant lawyer to address this with the LL to make sure you can stay as long as you pay the rent or to negotiate termination of the tenancy so you can move elsewhere. You might want to contact legal aid to see if they will intervene. ... Read More

Can I sue a body shop for ruining the function of my car?

It looks like you are having an issue with a property damage claim. Few lawyers handle property damage claims unless they are retained to handle any attendant personal injury claim, handled on contingency fee of course. Reach out to one of us here in Florida for a review and possible retention if needed. ... Read More

YOu went from CAN the LL do this or that to "do I have the right to not pay rent" and they are 2 different concepts. You can always ASK but rarely DEMAND or break a lease. You would be better off hiring an HVAC specialist to see what is specifically wrong with the A/C and then what it would cost to fix it. I might be cheaper in the long run to have the AC repaired...

Internet privacy

Answered 2 years ago by Stephanie Elizabeth Emanuel (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
The most crucial step is to secure your WiFi network. Even if you're no longer with that cable company, anyone with the information in the installer contract could potentially access your network. The cable company's installer sharing your WiFi information with others is a serious breach of privacy. Contact the cable company's customer service: Explain the situation and file a formal complaint about the installer's actions. Ask for the company to investigate the incident and take appropriate action to ensure such a breach doesn't happen again. In some cases, depending on the severity of the issue and the laws in your area, you might want to consider legal action. Consulting a lawyer specializing in privacy law can help you understand your options here. I would recomend paying for a premium consultation with an attorney you trust that specialize in breach of privacy matters like myself to figure out all your options and to see if there is a financial benefit that may be able to reap from this breach of privacy incident. Looking forward to hearing from you, Good Luck.... Read More

Send a writing to the contractor: he either confirms the contract in writing or refunds your money. If he does not reply, sue him in the district court where his business is located.

You are both right - sort of. While the LL is right about the 7 day letter, the LL also cannot interfere with a utility service and would be obligated for 3x monthly rent for doing so if you are able to prove that the utility provider would not let you get the water established in your name at move in. ...

Real estate

Answered 2 years and 4 months ago by Matthew R. Nahrgang (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
The first place to look is always the contract which in this case is the Agreement of Sale.  It governs all the terms such as termination.  Many agreements provide that disputes must be resolved via mediation or arbitration. There are only 2 ways to obtain a refund, voluntary payment or a legal proceeding.  Certainly, your attorney should try the former before resorting to the latter. I trust this answers your questions, but you are welcome to call or email on a free initial basis. Matthew R. Nahrgang, Esquire 35 Evansburg Road, Ste 400 Collegeville, PA 19426 610 489-3041 o 610 489-3042 fax mnahrgang@verizon.net nahrganglaw.com... Read More
