Purchase and Sale Agreement
Massachusetts
Breaches of a purchase and sale agreement?
I am in the process of purchasing a property and have recently signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement. However, I am concerned that the Seller may be in breach of the Agreement, and I am seeking legal advice regarding my rights in this situation. Specifically, I would like to know what remedies are available to me if the Seller does breach the Agreement.
Moss S.
The usual remedy for a Seller breach of a Purchase and Sale Agreement is known as specific performance. That means that you could sue the Seller to force him to complete the sale of the property. To see if there are any other remedies, I would have to review the agreement.

Real Estate Sale Agreement
Massachusetts
Can a seller back out of a Real Estate Sale Agreement after signing it?
I recently entered into a Real Estate Sale Agreement with a seller to purchase a property. However, a few days after signing the agreement, the seller expressed their desire to back out of the deal. They claim that they received a better offer from another buyer. I'm wondering if the seller has the right to do this, or if I have any legal recourse to enforce the agreement and proceed with the purchase of the property.
Moss S.
It all depends on the contingencies that are contained in the agreement. Some of those contingencies include an inspection, financing, title defects and more. I would have to review the agreement to let you know precisely what rights that you have to terminate the transaction.
Landlord Tenant
Residential Lease Agreement
New York
Pets and residential lease agreements?
I am a tenant in a residential property and I am considering adopting a pet. The lease agreement does not specifically mention anything about having pets in the residence. I am looking to understand the legal implications of having a pet in the rental property and what my rights are as a tenant in this situation.
Paola R.
It depends on the type of premises(building) you reside. There are specific laws that are applicable even if the lease does not mention certain terms and provisions. Your rights as a tenant not only arise from the lease but also from certain laws. It also depends on the type of pet you are thinking of adopting, ie. service animal. I am a tenant’s attorney.

Purchase Contract
New York
Can a seller back out of a purchase contract after accepting an offer?
I recently made an offer on a property and the seller accepted it, and we signed a purchase contract outlining the terms and conditions of the sale. However, a few days later, the seller informed me that they have received a higher offer from another buyer and now want to back out of our agreement. I am wondering if the seller has the legal right to do so, and if not, what options do I have to enforce the purchase contract and proceed with the sale?
Arthur S.
A contract "purchaser" has definite rights under its contract to purchase the property. The contract is binding on both parties. Every contract is different...and some do contain provisions entitling either part to terminate the contract on the occurrence of certain events or prior to the expiration of certain time period,,,,but it would be unusual for a contract to entitle a Seller to terminate in the absence of Purchaser's breach or the occurrence of a specified event. Assuming your contract (i) does not entitle your seller to simply walk away from his obligations under the contract simply because he no longer wants to sell to you (in this case, because he received a higher offer), and (ii) does not prohibit the commencement by you of a "specific enforcement" action to force your Seller to transfer title to you in compliance with the contract enforce, then, and in such event, you are entitled to commence an immediate action to specifically enforce your rights under the contract. Further, concurrently with the commencement of such action, you are also entitled to immediately file a "lis pendens" against the property pending the outcome of your action. A lis pendens is a notice to the world (filed against the property) that you have commenced an action to enforce your contract....and anyone acquiring title to the property after the filing of the lis pendens does so subject to your superior right to title acquire title. The filing of a lis pendens is a very powerful tool and effectively tells all other prospective buyers of the property that they would be doing so at their own risk.

Quitclaim Deed
Florida
Quitclaim deed vs. title transfer?
I recently purchased a property and am in the process of transferring the title. I am trying to understand the difference between a Quitclaim deed and a title transfer. I am looking to make sure I am making the best decision for my situation when transferring the title of the property.
Linda W.
A Quitclaim Deed is a form of title transfer as is a Warranty Deed and a Special Warranty Deed. Quitclaim Deed – provides the grantee with the least protection; it contains no promises or warranties, and only conveys whatever title and interest the grantor has. A quitclaim deed makes no assurance that the grantor actually has an ownership interest in a property; it merely states that if the grantor does, they release those ownership rights. Quitclaim deeds are typically used to transfer property in non-sale situations, such as transfers of property between family members. Warranty Deed - makes a promise to the buyer that the seller has good title to the property. A quitclaim deed, on the other hand, makes no promises.
