Q. I currently work for an apartment complex in florida and am compensated in free rent. When my lease was signed my rent was $348/mo. I only receive a paycheck for hours worked after exceeding 16 hours in a week. This averages out to roughly $5.44/hr. I'm wondering if this is legal and if not, how I should go about it.
A. It is legal because you are considered a salaried employee for those 16 hours and hourly rates do not apply to salaried employees. Still you could always try to renegotiate your deal with the landlord with consideration to the the present value of rent and the present minimum wage. The worst thing the landlord could say is "no".
Am I financially responsible for something that I never signed for?
Q. My fiance signed a rent to own agreement with a furniture company, I never signed anything. They keep saying that my name is on the agreement and I am fiancally responsible for the bill. I asked to see the agreement and all they have is a typed piece of paper and my name is spelled wrong on it. Am I fiancially responsible?
A. The typo means nothing, it can be wrong. However, your signature needed to on the sales receipt since you are not married.
They can repossess the furniture even if you have it, as it belongs to them, however, they can not enforce the bill.

Some one signed a rent agreement with me. After three days, he decided not to rent the house. What should I do
Q. Some one signed a rent agreement with me. After three days, she decided not to rent the house and stopped the check that she had paid me when we signed the agreement. I got fine from bank because of the stopped check. What should I do?
A. Well, as for the stopped check...you can make her pay up for that one. She owes you for whatever the bank's fine was to make it up at the very least.
Outside of that, you can do one of 2 things.....
1. You can see if you can get it rented out in the next 2 weeks or so, and if you do...cut your losses from there (aside from the canceled check fee).
2. Take her straight into court, and sue for the entire amount of the lease (but you can't rent out the apartment until the time of the lease would have been up if you do, or it nullifies whatever money would have been owed to you from her). It's a breach of contract.....and while she has every right to change her mind if he realizes he can't afford the place...she should have been a lot more honest with you about things.
You can still do both...but if you want to show that you are willing to be a forgiving party....then try to rent the place out first, and try and give her a chance to pay the canceled check fee that you got, if she agrees to this, then no harm, no foul....if she is a jerk about things.....then take her to court.
