A quick definition of quiet title action:

A quiet title action is a legal way to figure out who really owns a piece of land. If someone thinks they own the land, but other people also say they own it, the person can file a quiet title action. This is like a special lawsuit that helps decide who the real owner is. If the person who filed the quiet title action wins, then nobody else can argue about who owns the land anymore. This can only be done if the person is not already in possession of the land and wants to figure out who has the right to own it.

A more thorough explanation:

A quiet title action is a legal process used to determine ownership of a piece of real estate. It is a type of lawsuit that is filed by someone who claims to be the rightful owner of the property. The purpose of the lawsuit is to "quiet" any other claims to the property, meaning that if the owner wins the lawsuit, they will have clear and undisputed ownership of the property.

For example, let's say that John and Jane both claim to own a piece of land. John files a quiet title action against Jane, asking the court to determine who the rightful owner of the land is. If John wins the lawsuit, he will be the undisputed owner of the land and Jane will no longer have any claim to it.

In order to file a quiet title action, the person must not be in possession of the property and must not have the right to possess it. They must also want to determine all of the rights to the property. This means that if someone is already living on the property or has a legal right to it, a quiet title action may not be the appropriate legal action to take.

Tell us what's important to you

Yeah, I would have definitely gone to the hotel if I knew they booked a room for me. At the very least, it would be proper to show up personally and explain your extraneous circumstances

Nah but it's in your name. I went to an ASD. I asked the school for an extra night and they gave it to me. You just need to plan things better.

because i did let one of the staff know i'd be leaving early and thought that would be enough
16:46

Law-Shark
16:46
Well, you know now what to do.
16:47
well on their end they prob shouldn't just be buying hotel rooms for ppl who don't request it and then getting mad I didn't go
16:48
goof
16:48
Did you get any materials for admitted students day explaining that they would be booking hotel rooms?
16:49
there was an opt in on the form but I didn't select yes
16:49
Hmm, that's weird
16:50
i think it's unprofessional of them to call you like what if you had an emergency and had to leave? why is it their business why you didn't stay? not like they're lacking money and $100.00 hotel room is gona make them bankrupt
16:50
i figured it was an error and I was on the road so I didn't read into it. plus it would make more sense for it to be the night before cuz it started at 9am? so I was like uhhh and paid it no mind
16:51
@bigfatsloth: that's what i'm saying, they were gonna pay no matter what
16:54
"This is like peak disconenct between the male and female brain." like bffr
16:55
It was probably an administrative error then. I can't imagine why they would book hotel rooms for people that didn't select yes. I would maybe follow up with them and apologize for the misunderstanding to avoid any awkwardness
