- Q. I paid for scooter parts online, but never received parts. what should be next step? less than $200 more than $100
- A: You can send them a demand letter notifying them they have a certain time frame to deliver the goods or you will be filing suit on that date. Realistically, it is not worth filing a lawsuit for an amount under $200, so the demand letter should be used as a tool to begin negotiations. Additionally, you can also leave a review notifying them of the issue on Google or whatever platform they are on, this may get their attention and cause them to fix the issue.
- Q. Can person (just a witness) be compelled to turn over original POA document to agent
- A: In short, yes it is possible. This is an odd set of circumstances, there doesn't appear to be a reason for the neighbor to withhold the document. You may be able to file suit for "Civil Theft" and also seek injunctive relief for the purpose of having a court order that the document needs to be given to you.
- Q. Lease move out fees. Moved out on same day as move in.
- A: In order to terminate a lease in Florida, you either need consent from the LL or a basis under the Landlord Tenant Act/ Contract. In this case it appears you did not have consent. In order to have a basis under the statute, it appears you would have needed to send a 7 days notice to cure and allowed the LL 7 days to fix the issues. It appears you did not do that either. You would have to have a review of the lease contract completed, but it appears you had no legal basis to terminate and may be liable for at least part of the rent owed plus attorneys fees if this escalates. I would recommend treading carefully as to not escalate the dispute as you face significantly more exposure than $1,20 ... Read More
