The granddaughter broke the lease and moved out with 7 months left on the lease. The place was in a horrible mess that I had to clean.

i have a truck (1996 chevy k2500) that a customer wanted a transmission put in back in 2009. Then after it's all said and done customer didn't want to pay the bill, and left the truck, it has been sitting on storage lot since accumulating a storage bill. The bill is worth more than what the truck is worth. Is a mechanics lien the only way to get a title for this truck to sell it to recoup some of the losses?...Read More

I had an oral agreement with a contractor in Kentucky for work on my rental property. I paid him in full, according to our agreement, except for window installation which he did not do after damaging my windows and then backing out on installing replacement windows.

It seems that everything on the internet is in favor of the contractor whether you owe money are not....Read More
