What is the name of your state? TX
I need some advice, our home is currently under contract (option period expired, home appraised fine) to be sold and I'm debating if it's safe for me to sign a lease at an apartment complex. Can the buyer's back out if the option period has expired and if the home met appraisal? If they did do so, I would be stuck paying mortgage and rent and there is no way I could do both. What recourse would I have? My agent tells me people do it all the time, and they can be held legally responsible for any damages I incur should they break the contract. Is that correct? I just don't want to get messed over. Never sold a home before so this is all new to me. Is it really that common to enter into a lease while still under an obligation to pay mortgage?
Thanks,
JP
