In California, can landlords raise the price of coin laundry machines without warning?
It's possible that it's not the landlord setting the price but the company they use that services the machines. Either way, it is legal. You could look into getting a small portable washing machine which would probably pay for itself in no time. Make sure you get something called the LeakFrog (on amazon) that will go off at the first drop of a spill so that if there is ever a leak you can simply turn off the water and prevent it from causing an issue. Read through your lease and make sure one isn't prohibited before investing. You might find one on Craigslist or the like. I'm a student and found a sweet deal on one from another student who was graduating. Mr. Placid, you have a profound lack of understanding of how rent control in Santa Monica works, and even less awareness about current real estate prices. Your answer was trying to be snippy but failed because it's so ignorant. My high school art teacher was paying $1100 a month for a two bedroom apartment in Santa Monica (unheard of) because it was rent controlled and he'd lived in it since 1978. That's about the best deal you'd fine. A $2000 apartment here is cheap. It's conceivable maybe one person in the entire city has an apartment worth $2000 for $500, but they would have had to have lived there for a loooong time.
Can a 17 year old legally sign a contract in Texas without a parent present?
Your mother is wrong. A child cannot be held to the terms of a contract even IF a parent was present when it was signed. An unemancipated child cannot ever be held to the terms of a contract because an unemancipated child does not have the capacity to enter into a contract. A parent would have to sign the contract on behalf of the child and the PARENT would be bound to the terms of the contract. The simple fact of a parent observing a minor signing the contract MIGHT bind the parent to the contract, but couldn't legally bind the child. The ONLY way a child can be bound to the terms of a contract entered into when the child was a minor would be if the child reaffirms the contract after turning 18. (So if a 17 year old enters an agreement to buy a car and makes regular monthly payments up until he turns 18, the first payment he makes AFTER he turns 18 reaffirms the contract and makes it a valid, binding, fully enforceable contract.
Is an agreement not signed in a contract legal?
If an agreement is not signed, the terms of it are generally not binding (what I think you mean by legal). Binding means that the parties are legally obliged to carry out their obligations/duties in the contract.However, the agreement may be still valid and binding based on the intention. Intention is very purposive and so in determining whether a contract is binding the courts will look at whether the parties intended to enter into a contract.So to show that an unsigned contract is legally binding, one/several of the following will generally help:Evidence of communication - Emails, phone calls, other conversations.Evidence of a wish to enter into an agreement with one another, which can be both oral or in writing.Any steps that would have been taken by either party based on the reliance of a promise from the other party - e.g. if for example a cake baking business agreed to cater an event and started buying ingredients on that reliance. It would show intention. (this is an example).I hope this helps. This is what I know the law to stand like in the UK. This may vary depending on the jurisdiction. If you have more questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with Linkilaw or myself directly.
CALIFORNIA OPEN CARRY QUESTION(CONCERNING KNIFE CARRY NOT GUN)?
I have answered you privately, but there is a little more to your question here. Theoretically, the state COULD allow the owner of private property open to the public (like a mall) to prohibit entry by people with knives. However, I am unaware of any California law which does that. As far as private property open to the public is concerned, a person can be arrested for refusing to leave only if he has the intent to interfere with lawful business, is intimidating other customers, or has been convicted of a violent felony committed on the property. (Pen C 602, 602.1.) That is the legal answer. The practical answer is that the mall owner has a lot more power and influence in the community than you do. You can be sure that if you insist upon taking your knife to the mall, and refuse to leave, the police will find some reason to arrest you. Put another way, whether the rental cops have the RIGHT to F with you, they certainly have the ABILITY to do so. My advice is to leave your knife in the car while shopping.
Landlord went into my room without 24 hour notice to clean (California). Can I sue?
Sure, you can sue—both state law (and likely your rental contract) require 24 hours’ notice for your landlord to perform (non-emergency) cleaning, so unless your landlord had a pressing need to access your apartment, you likely have several causes of action that you can plead.But that doesn’t end the analysis. First off, suing someone is usually the last step that you should take to resolve an issue, not the first. If you are genuinely upset over the landlord’s conduct, a good first step would be sending a letter/email in which you remind the landlord of the state law (and the terms of your contract), note that he/she entered without providing you sufficient notice, and state that you do not consent to such notice-free entries. Hopefully, that will give the landlord the message that they’re not free to enter your space willy-nilly, and if not, now you’ve established a pattern of willful misconduct the next time he/she crosses the line, which will be more compelling in a lawsuit.Next, assuming you ignore my suggestion and haul off and file a lawsuit, that still doesn’t mean that you’re on your way to big bucks, as just because you might have a cause of action doesn’t mean that you have suffered damages (or at least sufficient damages to make bringing a lawsuit worth your time). Did the landlord break items of yours? Are you having sleepless nights over the fact that your privacy was violated? Or are you merely annoyed?If a landlord was frequently entering your apartment, moving/damaging your things, invading your privacy, and/or violating your right to quiet enjoyment of the apartment—things that sometimes happen, unfortunately—then that would be one thing, but all I can ascertain from your question is that on one occasion, your landlord went into your room to clean (which seems more beneficial than harmful) without giving you sufficient notice. It doesn’t appear that you were in the apartment at the time, or that any of your property was damaged. The landlord shouldn’t have done what he/she did, but assuming this was a one-time occurrence that reflects a lapse in judgment, this still falls into the “so what?” category in my mind, and certainly isn’t something that would be worth suing someone over, as that process, even in small claims court, will cost you money and time.
Are California teachers required to stay after school for a period of time to help students or consult parents
My brother goes to school at TPHS in San Diego, and I have noticed that nearly all of the teachers run out the door as soon as school gets out. I was under the impression that by law, teachers were required to stay after the close of the school day for at least 30 minutes in order to help students or talk with parents. Is this not the case? Thanks!
Is it legal to forge someone's signature with their consent?
Someone asking you to “sign on their behalf” is effectively asking you to represent them in doing a certain thing, which qualifies you as a mandated party. You basically have an unwritten contract in which it is stipulated that you sign for someone else, on their behalf.You would have to use your own signature, not theirs. This means that you’ve agreed that you sign on their behalf and that your signature on any relevant (..) document is the same as their signature on that document.If you’d however use their signature, that’s something else entirely, with or without their consent, should the signing be done in order to produce any sort of legal consequence whatsoever, such as in the situation of signing a check.One situation in which it’s most likely legal to use someone’s signature could be the following: you get commissioned to use someone’s signature as a wall decoration (do it over and over across a wall, for decorative purposes).This all varies with jurisdiction etc though I’m pretty sure on the basics.
