What is the name of your state? Florida
I have an ex-boyfriend who has been living in my house. The mortgage and title are in my name only. However, his mother gifted the down payment to me on the house in April 2000. I lived in the house for three months and he was very abusive, so I left. He changed all the locks and threatened for me sign over the home. I tried to settle with him over the next year and a half and to get my belongings out of the house and to get the 4,000 I had put into the home (my money went for repairs and fixing up) and then sign over, however he refused to give me any money.
I gave him the option to buy it but he refused and then I gave him notice to vacate, stating I was going to sell the property, but nothing worked. He did not leave, he got and attorney who spoke to my attorney and said he would not negociate at all. I never proceeded to evict him because I got a buyer for the property. I never filed any legal eviction papers just gave notice to vacate.
Then I got a cash buyer to buy the house with the knowlegdge he would have to evict him. When I sent for the payoff figure from the bank they mailed the statement to my home, he opened it called his laywer and filed a lis pendence against me the same day I was suppose to close, the buyer's title agent got the news and postponed the closing. The title was clear when we signed the sale aggreement to purchase the property and nothing was filed until two days after, and because of the quick filing of the
lis pendence, they stopped the sale. My ex is claiming title to property because his mother gifted me the down payment of $25,000 and he has been paying my mortgage since I left two years ago. He has opened my mailed and been paying the mortgage late every month and totally destoyed my credit. I am not able to pay the mortgage on my house without living there because I have to pay rent where I am living now, but he would not leave made the payments late, and therefore I decided to sell it.
My closing attortney said he cannot help and that I need a litigation attorney and that I can not sell until this is cleared up which could take 6 months or longer. I need to close and sell now and the buyer still wants the property. This happened the same day of closing which was today 06/2002. How fast can I get this thrown out of court. I have do not any written aggreement with him or lease. Everything is in my name. Help....
What can I do and can I win this case?.........
