Contracts

A condominium association in Florida is asking the owners for an amendment that is a disclaimer, waiver, and release of claims regarding mold and mildew. The Association wants the owners to admit that mold and mildew can exist in the wall cavities, windows, and on the interior surfaces of the apartment and yet waive any responsibility by the association. The question is: If the association is malfeasant in its duties to maintain the roof and envelope of the building, how can an owner or the owners insurance company subrogate a claim?

I SIGNED A LEASE WITH OPTION TO BUY FOR A TIME SHARE IN FLORIDA. I OPTED TO CANCEL THE CONTRACT WITHIN THE 10 DAY CANCELLATION PERIOD. I USED THE ONLINE FORM FROM LEGALZOOM.COM. I HAD THE FORM NOTARIZED AND MAILED THE FORM CERTIFIED RETURN RECEIPT. I AM STILL WITHIN THAT 10 DAY PERIOD. IS THERE MORE I SHOULD DO TO PREVENT THE LEASING COMPANY FROM SAYING THEY DIDN'T GET THE NOTICE?

If the tenant and landlord have a verbal agreement that the tenant will install new carpet at the termination of the three-year lease does this constitute an oral contract and a legal amendment to the written Rental Agreement under Hawaii law?

I am not a broker or securities dealer. Is it lawful for me to execute a finders fee agreement with a company (seller) to introduce them to other companies for the purpose of the introduced company to invest equity in the selling company?

Would the following circumstances be legal reason enough to consider a contract void?1. Company 'A' was forced to agree to the terms of the contract under duress. ( a contract we were extorted into giving up our promised discount AND where we agreed to pay them 1% per day if our payment was late which was ridiculous) That duress being: A) Company 'B' International was holding critical pieces to hundreds of sets that already been paid for by Company 'A'. They shipped the items in a way which witheld 1 piece from every set and placed those pieces in the last containers to arrive so that we could not cancel any part of the order since they were already 2 months late with delivery and we had asked for a refund, which was refused. This was a breach of initial our agreement in the first place as Company 'B' promised to only deliver complete sets. B) Company 'A' was already responsible for paying the demurrage of 35,000 whether or not Company 'B' released the goods and that amount was climbing by more than 1300.00 per day. C) The entire situation is based on 4 previous failed contracts wherein Company 'B' failed to deliver the goods on time resulting in massive financial damage to Company 'A'. Company 'B' then failed to give Company 'A' the discount they had promised in previous contracts and the arguing cost Company 'A' nearly 80,000. (2. Company 'B' failed their obligations of the contract by refusing to release the goods as promised on September 10th. A) Instead of releasing as promised, Company 'B' tried to extort Company 'A' into paying 20-30 thousand more than owed during the interim. B) Company 'B' lied several times about releasing the good, then stated they were not releasing the goods unless Company 'A' paid more money than agreed.C) The goods were not released until Company 'A' contacted Company 'B''s bank and sent them copies of all contracts and emails showing Company 'B''s intentions not to release the goods.3.The goods according to the original contract have still not been delivered. Only 1/2 of the items were made as requested. A) The sets were not made as ordered and in some cases are defective.B) The items were sent in non ordered and non matching colors so the items could not be solds as sets as was intended.C) There are missing components to the sets.Company 'A' entered into the contract in good faith, however, unfortunately Company 'B' did not and they further damaged their trustability with us. The promise of future business was diminished with the ongoing attempts at extortion for more money, this after causing Company 'A' to lose $100,000 in business.
