Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers

Lease To Purchase Option Agreement

Tennessee

Asked on Jun 15, 2022

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.

Answered Jun 17, 2022

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.

Commercial Building Lease

Tennessee

Asked on Sep 15, 2026

I have found gas lines in my newly leased restaurant building that never had tge proper permits. The last restaurant owner went into bankruptcy. How could this happen? I am now being told that I have to pay $ 350,000 to make this right before i can open.0

There is also a large pizza oven that the property owner will not remove . Isn't it owned by creditors?

Fema B.

Answered Sep 22, 2026

This situation should be reviewed before you agree to pay the $350,000. The first documents I would examine are your commercial lease, any landlord representations regarding code compliance or permitted use of the premises as a restaurant, the certificate of occupancy and permit history, and the notices or reports identifying the gas-line violations. Tennessee currently applies the International Fuel Gas Code to regulated construction, but the governmental authority responsible for permitting and inspection can depend on where the property is located. Whether the cost ultimately falls on you or the property owner will depend heavily on the lease. Commercial leases frequently allocate responsibility for code compliance, repairs, pre-existing conditions, tenant improvements, and governmental requirements differently. If the gas work predated your tenancy and the premises were represented as suitable for restaurant use, there may be substantial issues concerning the landlord's obligations, representations, and potentially your remedies under the lease. I would not assume that simply because the municipality is requiring corrective work before opening, you are contractually responsible for the entire cost. The pizza oven is a separate ownership issue. The fact that the prior restaurant operator filed bankruptcy does not automatically mean the oven belongs to its creditors. You would need to determine whether the oven was owned by the former tenant, leased, subject to a perfected security interest, abandoned or transferred through the bankruptcy, or legally became a fixture of the real property. Tennessee law recognizes separate creditor and priority rules for goods and fixtures, including circumstances in which a secured creditor may have rights to remove fixtures. Before removing, using, or disposing of the oven, I would review the prior tenant's bankruptcy docket and asset schedules, run a UCC lien search, and determine whether the landlord received title to or abandoned-property rights in the equipment. I would also obtain the complete permitting history for the building and have counsel review the lease before accepting responsibility for a remediation bill of this magnitude.

Property Deed

Tennessee

Asked on Aug 14, 2021

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.

Answered Sep 28, 2021

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.

Purchase Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 21, 2024

Can a seller back out of a purchase agreement after accepting an offer?

I recently entered into a purchase agreement to buy a house, and the seller accepted my offer. However, just a few days later, the seller informed me that they have changed their mind and no longer want to sell the property. I have already made arrangements for financing and I am concerned about my rights as a buyer. Can the seller legally back out of the purchase agreement after accepting my offer?

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 29, 2024

I'm so sorry about this situation! So legally speaking, the answer is no. Under California law, a breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill a legal duty the contract created and causes damages for the plaintiff. (California Civil Jury Instructions Number 303.) The measure of damages is the amount that will compensate the aggrieved party for all the detriment caused thereby or likely to result therefrom. (Cal. Civ. Code § 3300.) You may also seek specific performance of the agreement, too. You have some options you can explore: You can send them a demand for performance or some financial compensation. I have a template letter you can use here - https://www.contractscounsel.com/t/document-form-checkout/119 Otherwise, you can file a lawsuit in your local court. If you’ve already sent a bunch of letters, then the truth is this is the only way to compel them to do anything. Best of luck!

Property Deed

Wyoming

Asked on Oct 6, 2022

Does a quitclaim deed give you ownership?

I want to learn how these work. Can anyone explain?

Michael S.

Answered Oct 18, 2022

Caveat- I'm a Pennsylvania lawyer. That being said, a quitclaim deed gives you the exact same rights as the party conveying title to you. So if there are liens against the property, for instance, those liens would remain after you take title. Preferably, you would have a title search performed and receive a warranty deed, which would protect you against claims against the property.
