Lease To Purchase Option Agreement
Tennessee
If you're doing a rent to own on a house and the owner dies, can the executor or heirs kick you out of the house, raise the monthly price, or raise the amount of the house or do they have to honor the contract in it's entirety? In Tennessee
I have been renting to own for a few years now. We pay so much a month and have put additional money in the house fixing the house up. We have a certain price that we are paying for the house. The owner died yesterday, and the sister/executor of the will called me this morning saying he died and they were coming to look at the house. Said they were probably going to raise the monthly payment and probably going to raise the price of the house. I'm scared they are either going to kick me out or not let me do rent to own or raise the price. She also said I owed rent for this month which I have already paid!
Rebecca R.
If your rent-to-own contract is in writing then the contract should be binding on the owner's estate, although there may be some practical challenges in enforcing it. If your contract is not in writing you will have several practical proof problems to overcome, and you may have trouble overcoming the executor's challenges to the contract. As a tenant in possession you may have additional rights to recover investments in the house, or maintain your current amount of rent. As with the purchase option, your rights may depend on the language of your written agreement.

Property Deed
Tennessee
Can a grantor of a filed quit claim deed sell a home without the grantees signature, or consent?
Parent signed quit claim deed over to son and it has been filed. Parent is now threatening to sell property and not give any proceeds to son who is grantee on quit claim deed. Is this even possible, legally?
Forest H.
The quick answer is likely no. If someone has executed and filed a quitclaim deed, they have no interest left to sell. Any buyer is going to review title to the property and not accept deed from the parent.

Contract for Deed
Texas
Need help with a property issue
My wife and I took over a house from a friend in August of 2008 due to his job transfer from Houston to Nigeria. We agreed to the following terms: We will continue paying the mortgage plus a second loan attached, apply for mortgage approval, and change ownership to our name. We had a written agreement. We applied for a loan in 2009 but was not approved due to poor credit. We decided to wait and continue paying and reducing the outstanding before reapplying. In August of 2021, we reapplied and were given a loan approval to assume the house in our name. Our agent requested that we should have the other party communicate with them. I called and informed him to reach out to our agent but he kept promising to call the agent but never kept his promise. About the middle of January 2022, he stopped picking up our calls. We sent several emails and he never cared to respond. We need help on what to do next.
Kelvin R.

Building Lease
New York
What about taxes in a building lease?
I am in the process of signing a lease for a building for my business. I am looking to understand the tax implications of the lease and what I need to be aware of. I want to make sure I am in compliance with all relevant tax regulations and I am looking for advice on how to best handle taxes in the context of this lease.
Craig C.
There are several different ways this can be handled: one situation is that you have a base tax year and as tenant are responsible for any and all amounts over that base amount. Another scenario that the Tenant is liable for all of the taxes and associated costs. Finally, and unlikely, the tenant could have zero exposure for taxes, but that’s rare. To sum it up it is whatever you negotiate with the Landlord prior to signing any lease.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
