Legal Question in Consumer Law in Massachusetts
verbal agreement dispute
I made a verbal agreement to rent a hall for $150, but i didn't sign a contract.
the only thing agreed upon by both parties was that i could rent the hall for $150. it turns out the people who run the hall say you have to use their bar to pay for drinks during the function, and you cannot bring in any kind of drink into the hall during the function. they never stated this when i made the original agreement. i cancelled the rental, but they won't give my money back unless someone rents the hall on the day i had my function planned.
do i have a legal right to get my money back since they did not dislcose their policy about paying for a bar to me?

Re: verbal agreement dispute
This is a common and well-understood term of most fraternal and commercial hall rentals. It not only provides cash flow, it is necessary in order to avoid liability issues from possible alcohol use and abuse on the property. This sounds more like a "buyer beware" issue -- a question that you should have asked.
