My husband and I are the sellers in a land contract. The buyer has to date removed a fence, begun dismantling a deck, installed central air conditioning and removed and gave away an above ground pool we left on the premises. He also has been negligent in maintaining the grounds. We actually received notice from the city for the removal of the noxious weeds over 12" tall. Based on the paragraph below that is in our contract, do we have right to call him on breach of contract?
In case of failure of buyer to make any of the payments, or any part
thereof, to pay said insurance premiums as above specified, or to keep the
buildings, fences, and improvements onsaid premises in as good repair and
condition as they now are, ordinary wear and tear excepted, or perform any
covenants on Buyers's part hereby made and entered into, this contract
shall, at the option of the Seller be declared terminated, (but not until
Seller gives by U.S. mail or delivery to Buyer a written notice not less
than 30 days specifying therein the default or breach), and the Buyer shall
forfeit all payments made on this contract, and such payments shall be
retained by Seller in full satisfaction and in liquidation of all damages by
Seller sustained, or forfeiture and re-entry served upon said Buyer, heirs,
executors, administrators, or assigns by certified mail or in person, or
recorded in the Recorder's Office of said County, shall be sufficient
evidence of such election, forfeiture and re-entry, or Seller may have any
and all further remedies available to Seller at law or in equity
Thank you for your assistance.
