Venue Rental Agreement

New York

Asked on Dec 31, 2024

Can the venue owner change the terms of a rental agreement after it has been signed?

I recently signed a venue rental agreement to host an event at a popular event space in town. The agreement clearly stated the rental fee, duration, and other terms. However, a few days later, the venue owner contacted me and informed me that they had made changes to the agreement and that I would now be responsible for additional fees and restrictions. I'm wondering if the venue owner has the right to change the terms of the rental agreement after it has been signed, and if not, what actions can I take to ensure that the original terms are honored?

Damien B.

Answered Dec 31, 2024

Generally, neither party can unilaterally change or modify the terms of an agreement once both parties sign it. The only way is if a contract provision states that one party can modify the terms of the agreement without the consent of the other party. You would want to review the agreement to verify exactly what it says. If there is no provision that a party can unilaterally change the agreement or certain terms of the agreement, then there could be a possible claim for breach of contract if one of the parties refuses to honor it as it is written. An option is to file a lawsuit now to have a judge declare that the other party must abide by the terms of the agreement as is.

Contractual Agreement

New York

Asked on Mar 22, 2022

Can I create a contract that bars any form of dispute resolution (Jury trial and Mediation/Arbitration) if a client fails to dispute an invoice within 7 days of receipt.

I own a growing security guard firm and all my clients sign a service contract before we provide services. In order to reduce the stress of collecting from a slow playing client, I want to create a new contract that makes it impossible to dispute an invoice after 7 days of receipt.

Donya G.

Answered Apr 19, 2022

While you may create a contract without dispute resolution, the issue is whether it would be enforceable by any court. Seeing that a contract is between two parties and disputes arise, by barring any resolution, it would essentially not afford a party an opportunity to be heard. I do not believe a court would allow of enforce such a position. If you need additional assistance you can find me on the Contracts Counsel website and I can provide my legal services to you.

Partnership Agreement

New York

Asked on Feb 9, 2022

litigation over partnership

Partner is diverting monies for his own use

Donya G.

Answered Feb 18, 2022

Hello, I am sorry to hear that. Do you have a contract for the partnership? What does it say about resolving disputes? Do you have evidence of the misuse of funds? Can you cut off the funds so that they can no longer misuse the funds? For your safety, please do not confront the partner. All your remedies will depend on your agreement and the state of your business incorporation or where you do business. I see you are in New York. Is that where your business is incorporated? I would love the opportunity to work with you to resolve this. I am an New York contracts attorney who works with clients on contract disputes. I am an Arbitrator and have been a judicial clerk to a Civil Court Judge so I have extensive experience with disputes. When can we get on a call to discuss? I am available later today, Friday 18th or anytime next week. You can connect with me on Contracts Counsel. Looking forward to hearing from and working with you. Sincerely Donya Gordon

Employee Benefits Agreement

New York

Asked on Mar 21, 2023

Do you take cases for unemployment overpayment benefits?

In 2020 during covid my business was forced to shut down. I was also working, I had a job and I owned an event planning business. before filing for UI I called in to ensure I was able to file for the PUA for my business. I was told by the representative yes I can. in her words she said "anyone can apply for the PUA" she did not explained to me that I cannot apply if I had another job, or what the conditions were, as I have never filed for or been on unemployment in my life until covid happened. In september 2022 I received a letter stating that I was overpaid benefits in the amount of $62000. I filed for a weaver which I was not qualified for, then I appealed and the judge ordered a recalculation and that amount went from $62K to $58K. I cannot pay this money and I need help in fighting that this was not my fault. My taxes will be garnished every year until this is paid off. I am hoping someone out there can be of assistance to me, I really need it.

Donya G.

Answered Apr 4, 2023

Hello, I am sorry for the mix up. I worked with a client last year with similar circumstances. She was overpaid as well. We had a hearing and it was determined, since she had never filed before and English is not her first language that she had not done it intentionally so that fine on the payment was removed. That being said, if you were overpaid, you will need to repay the amount. She signed up on a payment plan. I suggest you do the same. If you need to engage my services to assist you, you can find me on Contracts Counsel website or my personal page Regards Donya Gordon

Promissory Note

New York

Asked on Jun 1, 2022

Breach of contract: Promissory note

Someone owe my money which he took as a loan signing a promissory note. He moved out of Syracuse, NY and know that he is living in the state of Ohio. How can I sue him to collect $7,286? Please help.

Donya G.

Answered Jun 14, 2022

Does your promissory note talk about what happens if he doesn't pay? Does the law of NY apply to your agreement? If so, you can sue in NY court. In order to get a firm answer on what to do, I would need to review the promissory note and see what it says. You can connect with me and engage my services through Contracts Counsel. Donya Gordon
