Do I have any rights as a tenant whose landlord breached his land contract agreement?
We have been living here for nearly two years. Our rent is paid through the end of June (we have receipts!) and our lease isn't up until 10/1/2019. technically if you consider we paid first, last and security deposit when we moved in we would be paid up until the end of July. We found out our "landlord" breached his land contract (which we were initially unaware of). we went to court and the judge seemed sympathetic to our situation and gave us a continuance to get all of our paperwork in order (there is a lot!) and have to go back on 5/30 to show all of our receipts and leases and paperwork to the judge. the attorney for the bank (the bank is in new york) filed a motion to evict last week asking that the judge grants the motion to evict us in 7 days. which is before our court hearing on the 30th. what rights do we have?? intially the lawyer sent us an application to fill out to take take over the land contract, but quickly changed his mind when i asked questions about it. one being why we automatically had to pay a $3500 deposit when the other guy only paid $1200, seccond being what the final purchase price of the house would actually be? they also wanted us to fill out forms pertaining to pricing verification asking to list the price, down payment, and monthly fees which we couldn't even fill out because no one would give us the information! Not to mention the rental verification form...that they require to be signed by our current landlord...we don't have one anymore! they also filed an agreed judgement entry where it says the landlord states that he did not give anyone permission to live here and if anyone is living here we are doing so without his permission...which is ridiculous. I have proof and paperwork for everything i have paid here. first, last and security when we moved in and every payment there after! PLEASE HELP!
