Started buying a home on land contract, was told everything worded great and moved in.Within a months time found out all plumbing needed to be replaced, all electrical needs replaced, and all appliances.Told owners we needed a new contract and price and they told me to get the home appraised and I did and they moved back to Iowa and told me that they do not want to sell it now, that I was just renting all along and I needed to move asap so they could move back in and not live with their mother anymore.
I am not behind on the new agreed payments and have documents& receipts to prove it, plus documents and receipts of all of the work I have done to the home and the payments I have made to the home.Can he legally do this to me since I am not behind on payments?
Your information is much too meager.
From these statements –
“ Told owners we needed a new contract and price. I am not behind on the new agreed payments” - your readers are given to only infer that - following the” appraisal” - the original contract was formally amended reducing the price and payment schedule.
But how do you expect to get help from here based upon such an inference that runs contra to the sellers’ current demands that you surrender the property. It is one thing if the “agreed new payments” was formally documented and quite another if merely verbal.
Also, your record of repairs and maintenance costs is irrelevant. That is, unless the vendors agreed to give like credit against the contract price. Something that would seem most strange assuming the vendors are not totally demented.
Obviously, because it involves your investment in a home this is of major importance to you. So I suggest that rather than groping around on the Internet for imprecise answers to vaguely worded questions, that you pay an attorney to review the related documents and then advise you.
Depending on how this whole thing is structured you could end up on the street. And we don’t want that.
Good luck
