Temporary Arrangement: Weird request

[stupidfool]

Canada.

Well here is the situation, I posted an ad online for a short term rental arrangement. I am at work most of the day and I thought I could rent out my place during the day for those that need.

I got a call from a man that provides massage services. I was open to the idea, discussed rates etc. I said I was fine with a 1 week sort of trial arrangement.

I found out that he would be conducting a business there which includes a sexual component.

I later backed out on the day our soft arrangement was to occur. No money was transferred, just a few emails that stated we would try it out for a week and see how it goes.

He know is threating to file a statement of claims for 300 dollars worth of advertising fees he lost plus lost clients apparently in the thousands.

I know this is weird, and i wish i didnt even make an offer. but i was tight on cash.

Does he have a case?

US law only, I'm afraid.

We only deal in US law here, but I would think that the doctrine of "Unclean Hands" might apply here. If what they are contemplating would be illegal, then they cannot force you to comply with a contract that allows for it, nor can they petition the court for relief when you don't comply. (And yes, that doctrine does also have a Canadian legal component.)

AGAIN you answered a post that you gave me negative comment about me answering one that did not deal with US law only. When I told you about this like I am doing now, you had it deleted.

Guess this will be deleted also.

Please do not answer unless subject is dealing in US law.

If you will notice, I did refer to Canadian law in my response, because in this particular case, the same legal concept DOES co-exist in both US and Canadian law. *DUH*

When/if you can competently respond to such a question, please do feel free. Until then, please do keep such responses to yourself.

While I can understand you have a "beef" about someone answering non US questions when they gave you a hard time about doing so, you really do not have the right to tell any other poster what they may or may not do.

Some of us actually do occasionally know a real answer for a particular country.

Not to argue, BUT, you must be friends.

You stated this, " you really do not have the right to tell any other poster what they may or may not do."
It is "OK" for her but not for me? Really? Have a nice day.

The fact REMAINS, you answered a post that was not US law, as you clearly said I shouldn't have answered. Have a nice day.

Oh, I get a chuckle now and than. Might as well as have fun.

I'm simply stunned, STUNNNED I say, that a home based massage service might include a sexual component.

I think this would involve "unclean hands" in any country. Ew.
