Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California
Verbal agreement to use karaoke machine.
I had a verbal agreement to use a karaoke machine in June 07. The verbal agreement was to pay him $250 for the use - owner would come pick up the machine within a few days. I tried contacting him several times until Oct/Nov 07. The owner emailed in Jan 08 saying he wanted the machine, again never came. Two days ago he emailed again stating he would like the machine back.
Do I have to give the karaoke machine back to him? Do I have to pay him from the initial verbal agreemtent? Can I charge him storage fees? What are all of my options.

Re: Verbal agreement to use karaoke machine.
Yes, you have to give the machine back.
You agreed to pay for the rental of the machine, so you probably DO need to pay.
Offsetting those fees with storage charges seems like a nice idea, but probably won't hold up in Court unless you discussed that aspect of things before he delivered the gear.
Still, it's worth a conversation, right?
