What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?California, but lady lives in ny.
I have a written contract with a lady who was going to sublet me her apartment for 2 months. I sent her a check for 2000.00, which she cashed. Now she cancelled the agreement, as she can't leave her apartment anymore. She has been stringing me along about paying me back for a week now. She finally gave a check for half of the money to my friend in NY, but told me not to cash it until friday. She refused to sign an agreement to put a deadline on the rest of the money, as she "isn't sure" when she will have the money.
What can I do?? What legal rights do I have? There was nothing in the original contract about a set date to return money if the contract is broken... but isn't there some kind of law about repaying owed money? Is there a way to take action without taking her to small claims court?
Thanks!
