Contracts Legal Questions and Answers
Contracts
General Tenancy Agreement
California
cost to sue tenant for back rent in a commercial property
Commercial tenant stopped making lease & CAM payments for months. The lease has 5+ years remaining on lease. The tenant is personally liable for the lease (no corporation / LLC). We wish to pursue suit, obtain a judgement and then collect the judgement.
Dolan W.
Hello! My name is Dolan and I'm happy to answer questions for you. If a tenant has received proper notice to cure a defect in the rental agreement, or is a holdover tenant, the law requires a CA landlord to go to court for the eviction (called an unlawful detainer). The main steps in an eviction are: The landlord must give notice (e.g., a 3-day notice to pay rent, or a 30-day notice to vacate); If the defect is not “cured,” then the landlord must begin eviction proceedings by filling out form CM-010, form UD-100, form UD-101, and SUM 130 (the summons); After filing (and serving) the document, the court will wait at least 5 days to schedule a hearing. If the tenant files a court form to give their side of the story, the landlord can ask for a trial date. If the tenant does not, the landlord can ask for a default judgment; If there is a trial, a judge will hear both sides. After the judge decides, the judge issues an order the landlord can take to the sheriff to help effectuate the eviction.

Catering Services Agreement
Georgia
Is it legal for a catering company to charge a cancellation fee if an event is cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances beyond the client's control?
I recently signed a Catering Services Agreement with a catering company for my upcoming wedding. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing pandemic, our wedding venue unexpectedly closed and we had to cancel our event. The catering company is now insisting on charging us a hefty cancellation fee, even though the cancellation was completely beyond our control. I want to know if it is legal for them to do so and if there are any grounds for disputing this fee.
Jeff G.
The short answer is: you’re probably liable for the fee. The longer answer is: it depends on a lot of variables. First, what does your agreement with the catering company say? Chances are, the catering company says that this type of thing isn’t their fault, and they held the dates for you. So the fee is due. Next, let’s start by acknowledging that it’s 2024 and not 2020. This is important because the timing is possibly important. If the venue closed during the pandemic, and all of this happened DURING the pandemic, you might have a force majeure argument. But if the venue closed in 2020 and the wedding was in 2024… and you failed to find a new venue in that time, then the fee is probably warranted. But overall, without more specifics, the answer is not determinable.

Lease Purchase Agreement
New York
What are the legal implications of a Lease Purchase Agreement?
I am currently considering entering into a Lease Purchase Agreement for a property, where I will be leasing the property for a specific period of time with the option to purchase it at the end of the lease term. I would like to understand the legal implications of this type of agreement, including any potential risks or obligations that I should be aware of before proceeding with the agreement.
Damien B.
Hello! The most significant risk is missing or being late on a payment, which could potentially breach the purchase agreement. Another risk is that the current owner usurps the deal or attempts to sell the property to someone else. At least, these are some of the practical risks. An attorney should review the written Lease Purchase agreement to outline the potential risks and recommend possible edits.

Dispute Resolution - Governing law and jurisdiction. - Mediation or arbitration requirement. - Attorney’s fees in the event of a dispute. 12. Intellectual Property - Ownership of work product (e.g., spreadsheets, templates). - Licensing of proprietary tools, if used. 13. Non-Solicitation (Optional) - Restrictions on the client hiring the accountant’s employees during or after the engagement. 14.

Business Contract
California
Reviewing a business contract: cost?
I am starting a new business and need to enter into a contract with a supplier. I have been provided with a contract to review, but I am unsure of the associated costs. I am looking for legal advice on the cost of reviewing the contract and whether there are any potential pitfalls or areas of risk that I should be aware of before signing.
Eddy M.
The cost will depend on several factors: - Length of the document - Quality of the contract (if it's poorly drafted then it will require more work to revise) - Complexity of the transaction (the more complex, the more time is needed to understand it and solve problems) - Your leverage vs. the supplier's (if you don't much leverage, then the contract will require a lighter touch as far as revisions) The best course of action is to do an initial consultation with your lawyer of choice to discuss the above. After that, the lawyer will be able to give you a sense of the cost, and make a proposal on either an hourly rate or a flat fee.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
