Any tips for making successful home ownership claim?
Yes. I'm not pursuing a lawsuit at the moment. I'm not clear on your question concerning the insurer. My insurer discouraged me from filing a claim at all. I filed one anyway. They sent out the adjuster, who is asking for estimates. They haven't given me any recommendation as to whether I should...- WarrantSeeker

Any tips for making successful home ownership claim?
I'm filing a homeownership claim for damages, both structural (sinking floor) and related cosmetic damages. I have estimates from contractors for the most basic recommended floor repair, but not to return the home to its pre-event condition (leveling floors and adjacent floor joists, drywall...- WarrantSeeker

Contract Dispute with Legal Insurance Regarding Real Estate Matter
Thank you for your response. That is excellent advice. My employer is very large and very powerful. The insurer has partners signed up to provide legal coverage. The insurer found a partner for me and I discussed my case was him. He is willing to represent me. The question now is whether the...- WarrantSeeker

Contract Dispute with Legal Insurance Regarding Real Estate Matter
"Latent" is probably the wrong word. "Obvious" structural defects would be more accurate. Mandatory disclosure is not required in Virginia. There is a duty though to not actively conceal defects. The seller actively concealed issues with with floor joists by covering them with an unnecessary...- WarrantSeeker

Attorney Fees Clause in Legal Retainer Contract
I understand that the message is not the services agreement. In my original post, I copied and pasted the clause in the services agreement that concerned me. I posted the recruitment email they sent me to provice context. Note another clause in the agreement says: "You will not owe us anything...- WarrantSeeker

Attorney Fees Clause in Legal Retainer Contract
To add clarity, I will paste the message they sent me. There is no "expense" on my part if everything goes smoothly. There is only presumably an expense if attorney's fees are awarded to the defendant. If you're worried this is a scam, I don't believe it is, as I have participated in other cases...- WarrantSeeker

Attorney Fees Clause in Legal Retainer Contract
I don't believe that it's a true "class action." There appears to be a new trend of firms suing for members of class-like group of people individually. I believe they file thousands of claims for individual members of a class. I believe this may be due to an increase of arbitration clauses and...- WarrantSeeker

Clause in Lease Requiring Payment of Attorney's Fees for Landlord's Court Actions
What is the name of your state? Virginia What's up? Remember me? I have a new question. There is not one, but two clauses in my lease requiring payment of attorneys' fees should an issue go to court. It seems unusual there are two. One is in the original lease language, one is in an amendment...- WarrantSeeker

Landlord requiring me to hire exterminator or they will do so without consent and bill me
Why would the term not be enforceable? I read the tenant act. The only thing I saw concerning pest control was that the landlord may make a tenant pay for damages from pests when the tenant was responsible for the infestation. What I am being asked to do is use a specific method to ensure there...- WarrantSeeker

Landlord requiring me to hire exterminator or they will do so without consent and bill me
Duh, I know that now. I was not aware of the lease terms when I called. I just knew there was a large snake in my house and I was scared and I needed someone to help me. Also, I believe I may be required by Virginia law to inform a landlord when there are pests in the home. I do not understand...- WarrantSeeker

I'm in Virginia. I recently discovered a large snake in my house. The snake left through a hole in my laundry room where a pipe used to be, where it likely came in from. I called the property management company after I saw the snake and asked for help, saying there were also mice in the home...- WarrantSeeker

Just looked it up. They can't revoke members' (homeowners) driving privileges under Virginia law, at least for not paying "assessments." "C.

The regulations apply to both homeowners and tenants, but the levels of enforcement are different.
