Most contracts have a 48 hour resting clause.  So you should be able to   it is called breathing room.

yes.  even though its an implied lease, its still a contract, and the only way you can break a contract is through mutual consent.  the rules vary state by state, you might or might not get charged penalty fees or get your security deposit witheld for giving 30 days notice, in some states it is enough, in some states, its 2 months.  in some states, 15 days is enough.  so it really does vary.  i'd try and be nice to your landlord first, and ask if she could let you off the hook before you ask for the 30 days.  if you've been a good tenant long enough, she/he might be nice in exchange.  landlords are people too, you know.

Heck no. That's totally against the law. \nYou can lose your "position" if you're out for more than 90 days, but they must reinstate you into an equal-paying position when you return.\nIf you are being threatened, call an attorney for a consultation.

I don't think there is one, but if you are the employer, then you should give yourself a minimum of two weeks.  If the job is hard to fill or takes lengthy training then 30 days would be good.  If you are the employee, don't agree to signing the contract if you feel it is too long.  You can always ask them to revise the contract before you sign it.  If they are trying to get you to sign a contract, then you already have the job.  They shouldn't be too upset if you ask them to revise the contract.  You can also ask that they give you equal notice or severance pay before they lay you off.

The have clearly breached the contractual agreement and you therefore have the right to terminate the contract by giving notice in writing. Make a copy of the letter and get a postage receipt and then just ignore them. They know they have no action but big companies try to take advantage of people who don't know their rights.\n\nAlternatively pop down to your local law centre or citizens advice bureau, they have an on duty solicitor who  will be able to advise you as to the best course of action available to you.\n\nGood Luck!

Try a real estate lawyer.  PA Bar Association should be able to find one for you.  \n\nIf in Eastern PA, good luck.  Flooding has only recently become a big issue for much of that region.

Might want to start by taking a course in reading and writing.  That way you can understand legal contracts better, otherwise your plan may just backfire.

Depends on the charges.  He could get brig time for years.  If they only recommend BCD, he'll be out in six or eight months.  If it's just a threat they are using right now...  He'll probably wind up serving his full term.  The easiest way out is to fulfill your contract honorably.  Less stress makes it seem faster.

Previous post is correct, there is an expiration date on the listing. Contracts can be voided for only a few reason (death, nonfulfillment, nonperformance, etc). When in doubt, consult a lawyer.

Give one months notice, and you should be fine, its consumer contract so any clause will be subject to reasonableness test in schedule 2 of ucta. (unfair contract terms act 1977)\n\nWhere a contract has very onerous terms then those terms should specifically be brought to your attention. Even if they were the law will not allow the inequality of bargaining power since you are contracting on their standard terms, so every clause has to be reasonable.\n\nIf the service is substantially different to what is promised then that is a repudiatory breach of contract and you should be entitled to rescind the contract, effectively be brought back into the position before the contract.\n\nI would suggest give notice to terminate on the grounds that they have failed to perform their end of the bargain, if they do not agree you may go to a solicitor and negotiate that way. It depends how much money is involved, whether you should go for small claims or not. \n\nWrite a letter to the company detailing your issues, and say you have all evidence in writing, and wait and see, more than likely they will back out. Even if they issue proceeding from what you have described you have a good counterclaim.

It depends on what your rental contract states.  The vast majority have the cancellation time frame written into them.  If it's not written into the contract, the default is 30 days.

I don't know if you can change a contract once it's signed.  A contract is pretty much a legal document that prevents either of the parties changing the terms mid-stream.

Yes he can do this to the best of my knowledge.  I know they can terminate the contract at any time they have cause.

What does the company policy say?  There's no time limit that an employer has to follow for writting employees up.  The main thing is that one of the following is followed:\n\n1)There's a policy and it states that you can be written up, in this case there's not really anything you can do since you should know your companies policies.  \n\n2)If there's no policy, then is this applied consitently with other workers.  This can be a tricky one.  If they can show they've written others up for this reason then there's not really anything that can be done.  Also if they can show that while you're the only one written up, but no one else had the same problem there's not much that can be done.\n\nLearn to show up to work on time.  Most employeers understand the occasional tardy, but I'm guessing if they're going back two months you've far exceeded that level of understanding.
