Q. Does he have any legal grounds? Will he win?

May 22, 2023

A: It is unclear why the buyer thinks they are entitled to a refund and lots depends on exactly what was said before the sale and\or details but As Is means As Is and anything could have happened to the vehicle in the few days between purchase and inspection. Bottom line is buyer should have had inspection done before buying it if they were concerned. No one can ever promise you will win if you go to court but based solely on your posting, it would seem your odds are good.

Q. My bf & I moved in dolx approx 9 yrs ago. Now that bf moved out. They tx me to give key n empty by5/1 Why do I need move

May 1, 2023

A: First, you have indeed had a rental agreement but it may have only been verbal, which makes it difficult for either side to prove the exact terms. If BF moved out voluntarily, his exit likely terminated the tenancy for both of you. If, however, he left due to domestic violence, you may be entitled to continue living there. Regardless, they can't remove you without going to court and obtaining a court order and that will likely take a couple of weeks at a minimum. You may want to simply review everything in detail with a local landlord-tenant attorney to determine your exact rights. Good luck.

Q. My landlord gave me a 24-hour notice of entry but they came in before the 24 hours. the two people who entered said

A: If he is going to claim an emergency, he has to notify you in writing within 24 hrs that he came in, when, and what the emergency was. If he did not, you likely have a claim against him, probably worth a month's rent plus court costs and attorney's fees. If you think you have a claim, review it with a local landlord-tenant attorney to be sure. Good luck.
