- Q. My HOA in Florida is demanding me to get rid of my registered service dog after he launched at a valet guy while muzzled
- A: You should consult with an attorney experienced in representing homeowners against their HOAs. There are several different defenses to this claim based on the language of the governing documents. Also, there are DBPR opinions on this issue finding a dog not to be a nuisance depending on the circumstances. All of these claims are extremely fact specific, and depend on your governing documents.
- Q. I've been buying a house from an individual or contract is listed at the courthouse she's refusing payments
- A: You absolutely need an attorney to handle this for you. The contract and real estate law issues you are dealing with are fairly complicated. There is unfortunately no way to give you a direct answer or guide you through the process through here due to the issues involved. You should at least set up a free consultation with a couple of attorneys who handle breach of contract and real estate litigation cases.
- Q. Can a contractee void a contract (and not pay) after work is performed because I refuse to comply with "due dilligence"?
- A: It sounds like you may very well have a valid cause of action for breach of contract, unjust enrichment and/or quantum meruit. You are most likely owed the value of the work you performed. You should set up a consultation with an attorney who handles breach of contract disputes, present the contracts, and get their opinion as to what rights and options you have under the circumstances.
