What legal remedy do I have from a verbal agreement? I was living in Eugene, Oregon at the time.: I sold a registered almost one-year labrador retriever to a friend. She paid me $3,000, (which is the pet price for a 9-week-old puppy, with limited regisration, meaning the dog cannot bred).This dog has been manner trained, housebroken, leash, trained, and was sold on an open registration,meaning she can breed her. I told her she could give back a puppy when she bred the dog, if she passed all of her clearances. For a total of $6,000. and we'd be done.
I know I should have gotten an agreement in writing but trusted this friend/ individual to follow her word.
Fast forward, she isn't even considering breeding the dog, but is planning to breed her other dog. She had led me to believe she wanted a yellow puppy, which this dog would produce, so I thought she would be a good fit. Several things have happened in the last months that have led me be very uncomfortable in working with her--her lack of honesty and making plans and breaking them, without any notice. Her husband who is very controlling, and whom I don't believe is going to allow her to have a second litter. He barely agreed to this dog.
I told her I was no longer comfortable in dealing...

Shawn’s answer: I agree with the previous answer and if you can prove the arrangement ( through email or text) you should go to small claims court. In addition have a lawyer review your breach of contract paperwork before you file and serve it.

Can a co-owner of a property give a 30 day notice to vacate to another co-owner: I co-own a house that I lived in for 12 years with my grandmother. I moved out but still have storage there. My grandmother wants to rent the house to someone else without my permission and has placed a 30 day notice to vacate the premises to me.
My grandmother is in bad health and will not be living in the house, but wants to allow her home care worker to live in it
