The Paperwork You Signed

A lease clause, a non competition clause, and what a signature does not settle

The lease says that if there is any dispute, you pay the landlord's legal costs, and that you give up the right to complain about repairs.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

The chapter's own exceptions, commercial leases, manufactured home park lots, non solicitation clauses, confidentiality obligations, trade secret claims, and the consideration for a clause signed after employment began are not walked here. Nothing on this page says whether a particular clause is enforceable against a particular person.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
