What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
I have small claims tomorrow and I filed for $2250. To make a long story short, I had a real estate contract where the seller had agreed to make roof repairs if I agreed to pay an additional $3500 above my final offer price. There is no mention of dollar value in the contract only that he would take care of it. He has not. I received quotes from 3 contractors all in the neighborhood of 2250. I filed for that amount as the $3500 was not in writing. I did find a copy of an email from my real estate agent with the details of the counter offer mentioning the dollar amount of $3500. Can I change the amount I am suing for at court tomorrow or will it be too late? Also, how do I go about adding interest to the money I am going after?
