Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida
A Question of Integrety
A property management corporation was formed in April, and one of the corporate executives owed monies to a client from previous rentals. The client's property was rented and payment was made by the customer In Advance for the rental.
The client, noting the previously owed monies, has kept the rental fees, and now refuses access to the property for the pending rental.
We want to write a letter stating basically that what occured prior to the corporate's involvement was strictly between the client and the corporate executive, and that we feel that the monies the client is holding belongs to the corporation, not the client, nor the executive; and we want to demand the refund of these monies.
Are we correct in our assumptions??

Re: A Question of Integrety
Yes. The private debts of the officers are not the debts of the corporation unless they had been so assumed.
