So as far as memory serves, I think you can get some $ for her, but not necessarily get her to sublet the place. I hope that helped. <BR/><BR/>Also, I think keen.com offers legal advice pretty cheaply per the minute...Bearettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14695540798528134304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786528.post-24525990888929311732007-05-27T07:47:00.000-07:002007-05-27T07:47:00.000-07:00Thanks!I did find a guide from the American Bar As...Thanks!<BR/><BR/>I did find a guide from the American Bar Association on contracts, and it supports my assertion---that the e-mail was a written contract.

I'll e-mail a couple lawyer-friends and see what they say.<BR/><BR/>I wish I could help! I'll send good karma vibes your way and light a candle with Our Lady of Guadalupe on it, to boot!artemisiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048259618106957687noreply@blogger.com
