I live in California and am a victim of stalking at my apartment complex. I have reviewed Civil Code 1946.7 and provided my apartment management with a 14-day notice to terminate our lease without penalty, along with a police report. The management initially required a 30-day notice but I believe Civil Code 1946.7 allows for only a 14-day notice. I want to ensure I am adhering to California law and understand my rights, including those of my husband, regarding early termination of the lease due to stalking. What should I do if the management refuses my 14-day notice and insists on 30 days?

I started a company alone and invited a software engineer friend to join me, offering him a $60K annual salary and 25% equity. We created an agreement stating his commitment to 84 hours per week, but it was never signed and the company was not legally incorporated. After two months, he resigned, and since then, I've renovated almost every facet of the business. I'm concerned he might claim his 25% equity if the company becomes successful. Am I safe, and does he have any legal ability to claim the equity?

What are the statute of limitations for bank overdraft fees in Indiana and Ohio, and how should I handle a situation where a debt collection agency is attempting to collect on an old debt that I believe I have already paid off?

I have a prenuptial agreement that is witnessed and notarized, and a promissory note that is signed by a witness but not notarized. Both were created about 10 years ago, and I signed the promissory note under duress for $15,000. I am now being asked to pay, but I cannot financially and do not want to. Are these documents both legal and enforceable in South Carolina?

My daughter's ex-roommate is suing her for money she had to pay for excessive cleaning of their apartment. There was no roommate agreement and no verbal agreement. The ex-roommate decided to move out early, causing the leasing agency to add more money to each roommate's rent over a 3-month period. A verbal agreement was made with my daughter and another roommate that my daughter would pay him back once she got a full-time job. The other roommate agreed to pay the ex-roommate back for her portion, which she agreed to via text but then decided to file a small claims case against my daughter. Can the ex-roommate sue my daughter since she initially agreed to the arrangement?

My contractor did a very bad job on my 90 sq ft shower tiles. The tiles are uneven, have excess grout, and the shower floor has chipped tiles and missing grout. I asked the contractor to replace all the tiles and pay for everything except his work, but he refused and stopped responding to my texts and calls. I want to take him to small claims court. Do I have a chance to win this case?
