Legal Answers
Q. Apt manager obtaining signature of a Resident with a third party who hasnt signed the addendum to the Rental Deed. Is it
A: Sorry to hear about your LL problems.

There is no such thing as a rental deed. It's either a lease or an agreement to rent living space in TX.

The terms of any lease in TX, can be made or changed by the Landlord "LL" and Tenant, as long as BOTH agree. If you pay extra rent for your "VIP" parking spot, then it's yours, exclusively! But there is usually an obligation on the tenant to register the License Plate, with the LL, to avoid towing, and to be sure no one else is parking in your spot.

If you were towed, after you gave proper Notice or registration of your vehicle (Lic. Plate), then the LL and the Towing Co., probably owe you, all of your losses, damages, and recovery fees you had to pay to get your car back.

I would print and copy all writings, applications, emails, etc., and then see a good lawyer, or sue in small claims court to recover your losses.

Good Luck!

Q. Am I able to take legal action with PayPal if they refuse to give me my money back after a refund is issued?
A: The answer to your question is in your user agreement you accepted when you signed-on with PayPal. If PayPal has sent you an email, or letter telling you they are not giving you a refund, I would need to see that to give you solid legal advice.

PayPal is obligated to give you a refund if the seller has returned the same to them. Is there something more to this? Sometimes PayPal will send you a check, if there is an issue with the card or account you used for the initial transaction. If you can follow-up, with getting me all the correspondence between you and PayPal, I can give you better advice.

Did you tell your card/bank company that the transaction needs to be cancelled? If not, I would try that if this all happened less than 30 days ago.

I hope this helps.

Q. Can Foreclosure 3 properties in Texas. sue the scammer, borrow. I need to collect the money amount in notes. Not enoug
A: It is really hard to know what your questions are. Are you the seller/borrower? Are you the lender ?

I will assume you are the lender for this question. Texas has great consumer protection laws, which were made to protect consumers, and small businesses, from unsavory characters and scammers. The most powerful of the consumer protection laws is the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act ("DTPA") Chapter 17 of the Business and Commerce Code of Texas. That law has two main methods of stopping and punishing scam companies and scamming individuals. The people and companies who lie to consumers, mislead, or deceive the public and consumers in Texas, can now be prosecuted and sued by the Attorney general's Office, the local District Attorney's office, or by private attorneys. The scammers now face criminal prosecution, and money judgments and attorney fees, if they are proven to have violated the law.

Thus, if the person you refer to as "scammer," has lied and/or made deceptive assertions, to obtain a loan, or to make a financial profit, from you, a small business, or a government program, the Attorney General, or your attorney, may sue and recover from the offending person. There are provisions in the DPTA, that are specifically tuned into Real Estate transactions, and professional services.

Check out Chapter 17, and you will see the long list of possible ways to avenge or recover any losses you suffered due to false or misleading trade practices.

I hope this helps!
