    Letter of termination of contract

    From browsing the OP's messages, the OP believes the OP is being prevented from taking alternative work opportunities. Terminate today, have 2-3 opportunities next week. Feel there is too much we don't know.

    Letter of termination of contract

    @welkin that's another very good point - although technically the contract has an autorenewal provision. Truth be told, I'm going to revise my thoughts to the most succinct to be clearer after having coffee. 1. Withought seeing the entire agreement, the ability to provide a meaningful answer...

    Selling Home, Noisy Neighbor

    @StanD Thanks for following up. It's really useful and helpful to see such progress reports. Wishing you the best of luck.

    Management's company inappropriate charges

    It's not like there is an arbitrary amount set just for you. All of the property owners in the association are subject to the set of rules. Recently I reviewed property in Florida for a client that seemed to be selling at a lower market value than I had expected. Looking more closely, I...

    Do I owe even thought they were not timely as told

    I'll think through this problem. Let's first establish that the estimated time of arrival for an ad hoc call is just an estimate subject to change. You can cancel the service any time prior the same way their estimated time can change. The first issue that would likely be examined if this...

    Should I get my security deposit back?

    Here are the steps to obtain the return of a security deposit from a landlord, which includes a sublessor like your former roomate who was your "landlord" for these purposes. Getting back a security deposit Starting a case to get a security deposit back I am unaware if a court such as small...

    surveillance

    This is an old one and I was surprised too. Although I'm not sure of the answers based on the limited amount of information. I think it would depend upon the type of communication. For example, if it's wireless communication - the easiest example being unencrypted - then there would not be...

    SSN was stolen, I have no ID

    While it's off-topic here, that is very true. Our local politicians (such as our Mayor, Bill de Blasio and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) have openly waged campaigns against the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and it's why I raised the issue of state-based requirements. Illinois...

    Management's company inappropriate charges

    You need to appreciate how the purchase of subdivided units of a jointly owned property work. In both condos and co-ops there is a "unit" which is in charge of the commonality. For example, if you're a co-op shareholder, the corporation owns the common areas and set house rules for the...

    I commissioned someone for a project, a 6 week project that’s now 4 months and counting. Help.

    Perhaps you've had this discussion but I don't see any final attempt to get a definitive esimated delivery date. He mentioned specifically 4-6 weeks and you can show him the message. Gently ask what is the hold up and try to get him to give you a conservative date. It shouldn't take longer...

    Impound fee refund

    Sorry to hear about what happened. You can also tell them that you will go to small claims court and file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and state attorney general. Unfortunately I've seen a number of such places defiant, considering that there are more cases to prosecute...

    SSN was stolen, I have no ID

    Yes, that's true. At this point I've been thinking Real ID only given how New York City has been aggressively marketing them - I live within reasonably close proximity to 3 airports!

    shared cesspool

    Consider also that there may be an easement by prescription through open and notorious usage over time. In New York State, adverse possession is covered in Article 5 of the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law and it requires 10 years possession. Considering that you just discovered a...

    Midas failed to properly repair my car

    I think this thread is a good example for two issues: 1) "Freedom of Speech" relates to governmental action trying to curtail speech that is within the definition of "protected speech" but not private entities - such as Twitter. Since you mention Twitter, it permanently suspended former...

    Mother-In-Law being abused?!

    I wonder whether we are missing part of the story. My understanding of a medical proxy or health care proxy relates to making medical decisions, not whether a child can visit or speak to his/her parent who is in a nursing home. The below health care proxy document is produced by the the New...

    My aunt is exploiting my grandmother

    I respectfully disagree in this respect, especially since conveyance appears not only to take place under suspicious circumstances but after a diagnosis of Alzheimer's. In the case I described above, we were ultimately successful arguning that what took place several years prior constituted a...

    SSN was stolen, I have no ID

    Here are the requirements in Illinois: Real ID FAQ What you need and what is available also depends on the state. For example, certain states don't even require you to be a legal citizen, such as New York which in 2019 provided illegal / undocumented immigrants with the ability to obtain a...

    My aunt is exploiting my grandmother

    Having a medical diagnosis for Alzheimer's that predates a legal document or instrument is very important but, as you can see, action sooner rather than later can make for a much less expensive dispute resolution process. The information above seems prudent, especially in light of an estate...

    Transcript Approvals

    Thanks for the citation and the explanations. Quite frankly, I'm not quite sure I understand where our original poster is at this point. If there are inconsistencies with the transcripts and the judge used one of them, why not contact the clerk to see if you can obtain more information as to...
