there's a kid in the hood that is advertising on the neighborhood facebook to cut any lawn in the neighborhood for $20. and I've already set the rules of the game with neighbor kid at $50.
big shot attorney cats of the board: is my verbal contract with the neighbor kid legally binding or can I just pull a trump and tear this rough rider up and renegotiate whenever I feel like it?
other ethical people of the board that can be but are not required to be big shot attorney cats: same question as above.
some important data you may require to make a ruling:
-neighbor kid is estimated to be about 13 years old give or take 5 years.
-his parents are very nice. however, I'm about 90% certain they saw me pee in my backyard at like midnight one time when I didn't think anyone was around. later saw them on their deck.
-his grandfather lives in their walkout basement. has his own like entrance door and stuff. he is also very nice.
-he uses his own lawnmower, blower, and trimmer despite me offering mine because he's not comfortable using mine.
-as mentioned above he takes out my garbage and recycling when I'm out of town.
-possibly the most bizarre item: he doesn't even mow his families yard. the dad does.
need a ruling asap as I'm leaving town this afternoon. tia.
Is neighbor kid going out of town at all this summer? If so, have kid 2.0 come and mow. Or, if you want to straight up intimidate TF out of neighbor kid, tell him to take a week off, thus forcing him to watch kid 2.0 take his job out from under him.
If it’s of similar quality, offer to renegotiate w neighbor kid at the same rate as kid 2.0.
If neighbor kid declines, hire kid 2.0 to maintain your lawn. Give him an extra 5er to take out the recycling when needed.
Also, v weird about not mowing his own lawn. Maybe his parents can’t afford his rates?
