private sale of vehicle stated ”as is” on bill of sale
Why I’m I going to small claims court when bill of sale said ‘as is”Car was state of Maine inspected and passed 2 months before buyer agreed car in good condition. Buyer said they found items wrong 3 days after purchase. Asked if wanted to view all paperwork on repairs done to car before sale, said no. Brought mechanic twice with them to inspect car before purchase. Seen driving vehicle after purchase. Buyer wants all money back. 1995 Tracker, for 1800.00. What do I need to do? They said I knew what was wrong with car before sale. As far as I knew I had all repairs done in order to receive State inspection.Thank you

Co-ownership of Property
A sibling of mine and I were co-deeded property owned by our parents in a quit-covenant deed with the right of survirorship.

My sibling decided to convert this property — a summer cottage and vacation home– into a commercial rental. Since we are not ”financial equals,” I was not able to match him dollar for dollar on the structural and cosmetic upgrades he made to the cottage and instructed him to keep all rental income until he broke even, thinking that would happen within a few years time.

In 5 years, he racked up over $45,000 in expenses, claiming I owe him half of that. He never consulted me or obtained my approval on the many of the upgrades he made or provided copies of expense receipts or rental agreements even though I have been asking him for years.

The business and family relationship has not gone well and now we are at loggerheads.

Do I have a responsibility to pay him back for expenses I did not agree to? If we sell the property, are we each entitled to half the proceeds of the sale or is he entitled to recover his expense outlays not recovered through the rental income?

rental agreement v.

rental agreement v. state law
My landlord has kept my security deposit based on damages that were there when I moved in (he was the previous tenant and knows I didn’t cause the damage).Unfortunately, I neglected to take pictures of the apartment prior to moving in that would prove I didn’t cause the damage.My rental agreement stated that he had 30 days to return my deposit or send a letter stating the reasons for withholding part/all of the deposit, which I of course signed.I surrendered the apt. on 10/31 and his letter is postmarked 11/30.ME state statute says that he has 21 days to send the letter or the deposit b/c I was an ”at-will” tenant or he forfeits any right to keep the deposit, as far as I understand (Title 14, Chapter 710-A, 6033).I would like to take him to small claims court to get the deposit back but am not sure whether me signing the rental agreement overrides the state law.Please help!
