Working full-time for Project Hospitality (feeding and helping the homeless, the mentally ill, and those affected by HIV/AIDS) from 1988 to 1995, Pete attended the College of Staten Island (CUNY) from 1985 to 1992, where he received his Bachelor’s Degree in English. Eight years later, continuing to work while attending classes at night, Pete received his JD from New York Law School in 2000.

Q. Can a landlord deduct from deposit Uber cost to Home Depot to buy materials to fix damage tenant caused.
A: If the damages were sufficient to justify a deduction from the tenant's security deposit, I do not see a round-trip uber trip as unreasonable -- any more than if the landlord ordered the items to be delivered and had to pay a delivery fee.
Q. I was approved for a loan. The company received money directly. I never received the procedure and I canceled In time
A: You mention a procedure, so presumably, the loan company paid a doctor. Did you forget to tell the loan company you canceled the procedure with the doctor's office? Either way, you said you canceled "in time," so, if the doctor accepted the payment - even though you were not obligated to pay it - you should ask the doctor to return it. If not, you may need to sue her. How much money are we talking about?
Q. What recourse do i have in regards to a return. Ordered a lawn tractor on line from manufacturer. item defective.
A: Unfortunately, there's no great answer here. The cost to involve a lawyer will exceed the $500 you were hoping to save (and it won't make things happen any faster), and either way, you'd have no basis to sue anyone just because you need the money from the return before you can buy another mower. I think waiting for your credit card company to help you is probably the best option. I know it probably costs more to buy a mower in a local store than online, but in light of how badly this went, maybe the real lesson here is to shop locally (at least for big-ticket items). Good luck.
