Tretorn: Is It Ethical To Purchase A New Home
Hello Adrian Booker. First, I have to admit I didn't agree with your opinion for this discussion. I believe that Tretorn have every right to ask for additional money for the project to finish plumbing all the homes. The reason, I believe Tretorn was ethical to ask for additional money is because contractors usually run into obstacles and challenges that require additional attention to that wasn't planned in the budget. For example, I love to watch the home channel (HGTV) and my favorite show is love it or list it. The show love it or list it is about a couple (usually) looking to buy a new home or to renovate their current home (one spouse want to buy a new home and the other spouse want to renovate the home). There's a realtor and an interior designer that services the couple to make decisions to stay or list the home. …show more content…
Cutting to my point, the interior designer is giving a contract with a certain amount of money that she uses to renovate the couple house. Most of the time the interior designer has a hard time staying with budget because there's always problems that arises where she need to ask the owners for more money. The owners either give the interior designer the extra money or the owners will deny it. Furthermore, I understand your perspective for this discussion and I agree with you to a certain point. I don't think Fulkins should sign the contract if he doesn't want to sign it. Also, Tretorn should had asked for the additional cost in a proper manner and explain fully why he need the additional cost instead of demanding more money without an

    Mike and Liam can say that Mary is in breach of contract but in fact no acceptance was made on their part. How did they know what time to arrive? Or what color to paint the house? Since acceptance is what makes the offer an oral agreement and a binding contract, no match was made to the offer. When Mary made the offer to pay $2500 for Mike and Liam to paint her house, they should have responded by accepting her offer and even could have bargained by her paying them the money plus supplies.…

    4. Dan has no rights against Ben to receive the $100.00. Although Ben created an offer by telling Dan he would pay him $100.00 and Dan accepted the offer, the consideration, Dan assisting with the landscaping project, happened in the past. This case is similar to the one in which Leah was not given the apartment she was promised. Because Dan’s end of the bargain, was already complete he faced no detriment and therefore he has no rights against Ben.…

While they were at the Gold Coast, Nicole and Joel stayed at a great house by the beach owned by their friend Sophie. They had all agreed that Nicole, Joel and the baby would be at the beach house for four weeks and would pay Sophie $1000 a week for allowing them to stay in her house. Nicole and Joel end up having a terrible time, their baby does not sleep at all and they do not like staying so close to the beach. It is hot and sandy and there is lots of noise from all the people on the beach. After two weeks they pack up and go to Sydney. They don’t pay Sophie any money at all for rent because the holiday was so disappointing. Sophie however, really wants Nicole and Joel to pay her the rent as they had agreed. Sophie had counted on the money to pay for her recent cosmetic surgery. She is hurt by their failure to pay and has come to you to ask whether she can make them pay her the rent that they owe her.

    Contract Breach

    Situations that involve written and oral contracts between clients and contractors happen every day. Quite often, a price is agreed upon based on a completion date and the performance that happens along the way. One such situation that I have experienced was when my Dad decided to purchase a brand new townhouse in a downtown Cincinnati residential redevelopment project. A private contractor named Drees had won the rights from the city to be the only firm that could be used in the construction project and they are very popular there. A contract was signed between my parents and the developers that a new home would be built to their specifications and delivered within a six month period and upon that date they could move in. The focus of this analysis is to bring the contract under scrutiny that existed between Drees and my parents and how the contractor performed their duties.…

    Journal: Property and James

    This is the story that I have witnessed in my community. The dispute between the boundaries of houses led to the misunderstanding of each other. Since I do not own any rights to appear theirs real name in this paper, let’s assume they are James and Taylor. James and Taylor were longtime neighbors and best friends before the dispute happened. One day, Taylor had done some changes in her front gate, which included laying a concrete slab. This concrete slab intruded on James’ property line. Taylor and James had many strong emotions about what was the best way to resolve this property line dispute. For Taylor it was only a few cm. But for James it was a very important few cm. James, concerned about maintaining his current property rights, insisted that Taylor to remove the concrete. Taylor felt that in the spirit of being good neighbors the cm should be overlooked. On the top of the issue, there was a third party, “the property line agency” that was called by Taylor to mediate this issue. James felt betrayed that Taylor had called the property line agency on him a few months earlier. Taylor had called property line agency to get help with the property line issue. Shockingly, while investigating the property line, the agent noticed that James had constructed a concrete grave of his father 5cm in the backyard of Taylor’s property land. James was forced to move his father grave from Taylor’s land. James blamed Taylor. Taylor hadn’t meant for that to happen. Then she understood James’ anger towards her. In the end, James and Taylor made several apologies to one another and let go these past transgressions. Concrete slab of Taylor was still constructed and James’ father grave was also not removed. As a result of the mediation, James and Taylor were spared the expense of the property line agency and more importantly, returned to being good…

    Les Florets - Post Negotiation Analysis

    Entering Les Florets negotiation, I had set for myself rules. Besides my will to buy the restaurant, I had some intermediary objectives to help reach my goal. First, I needed to learn more about the seller’s reasons to sell. This way I could offer her different solutions to solve the situation. Second, I needed to be flexible, despite the limit of $160,000. That meant I needed to maintain a margin in the negotiation around the price, and I decided to start with a price of $140,000, saying since I am not usually in charge of buying new restaurants, I am limited in the money I can spend. This way, I could difficultly raise my offer to $150,000 but negotiate other things, notably that the seller would stay for a few months to help train a new staff.…

    A New House - Economy

    Consumers use marginal costs and benefits to determine if they should make or reject a certain decision. Marginal costs refer to the change in cost over the change in quantity while marginal benefits refer to the change in benefits over the change in quantity (“Marginal Costs & Benefits”, n.d.). The strength of the economy as a whole could affect the marginal benefits and the marginal costs associated with a decision to purchase a home. During times of economic growth, a consumer may feel that the purchase of a new house is a good decision because it allows him to enjoy a better living environment. During such periods, the consumer is not worried about mortgage or spending since he is optimistic about the economic situation. Therefore, he feels that the marginal benefits outweigh marginal costs. On the other hand, during times of recession, a consumer may feel that purchasing a new house is an unwise decision since he is worried about being retrenched and thus prefer to save up money. In this case, he feels that the marginal costs outweigh the marginal benefits.…

    The Bullard Houses

    Yan Ma, the representative of Downtown, started off by raising Downtown’s concerns about the future use of the Bullard Houses. Instead of mentioning about their current financial situation, Yan repeatedly questioned me about the purpose for which Absentia was going to acquire the site. From my prospective, I didn’t have the authority to reveal to anyone the real purpose, which is to building a high-rise hotel in the garden area. Hence, I made much effort in an attempt to get around this question. Nevertheless, she mentioned that the only way she could continue this negotiation was to know the intended use of the site because her clients bought the property in the hope that their ancestors’ heritage can be protected from being destroyed. With no rout of retreat, I chose to reveal that Milton Hotel Group wishes to build a hotel but to keep the exterior appearance as it was at the moment. Yan surprisingly seemed not opposed with Milton’s projection. Frankly speaking, I did not quite understand why she agreed to move on to the next issue after hearing a high-rise hotel will be built and the interior of the Bullard House will be redesigned as the lobby of the hotel. With this big issue being solved, we soon reached a final deal of a total price of $18.5 million in which $13 million would be paid up front and the remaining $5.5 million would be paid by installment within one and a half…
