<DIV><FONT size=4>Steve, I like all your suggestions. I am wondering,
however, if it is necessary to file the contract which would require payment of
the REET? If we filed a notice to forfeit an not recorded contract and 90 days
later a forfeiture, wouldn’t that clear the title back to the seller? Oh, and
nothing was paid except the 2 $400 payments and no improvements were
made.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> Without seeing the contract,
while it may well be invalid for different reasons, usually estoppel can get
around that, although you only mention what occurred in 2019, and not earlier.
There may not be enough part performance.There are other elements to estoppel as
well. Were there substantial improvements made?
<DIV> A simple answer could be
to record the thing, file the REET, and then forfeit the contact(recording is a
prerequisite). Not doing that may create some ethical issues since, as lawyers,
we are obligated to see that they get filed and the excise tax paid, when
appropriate.</DIV>
<DIV> The other option is to bring a
quiet title/ejectment action.</DIV>
<DIV> I would disregard what the
client "wants" to call the thing. So far, your client's judgment does seem to be
very good. Eventually you will need to explain what you are doing to a judge.

<DIV dir=ltr>Sure - this is a situation which should be addressed immediately in
an informal mediated conversation. The message is ?our deal isn?t working, let?s
fix it without UD?s and the like.? <BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Please note I am not recommending a JAMs style process. Client with
your help should formulate the solution they want, and engage mediator to convey
message to buyer/tenant/occupant. That might include some kind of instrument
pre-signed by your client to make it easier for the other side to accept. You
skip steps and save time doing that, while creating the maximum opportunity for
a positive result.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>If they respond favorably, then you can wrap up things quickly and

learn some valuable things that will inform next steps.<BR></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>I think Roger has a good point. I took on a case like this a
couple of years ago on a pro bono basis, except I was representing the
tenant. The case went to trial, and at the end the judge made it known how
very unhappy he was trying to sort through the conflicted mess.<BR></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>If the ?buyer? came to me after the ?seller? attempted to evict the
buyer, I would argue in court that the contract is clearly a purchase agreement
and not a lease so the seller would have to use the foreclosure procedures and
not the unlawful detainer procedures.<BR></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Hello, Listmates.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>I'm working with a business that needs to interview a potential
employee. They want to discuss their future plans, current practices, etc. with
the potential employee in order to see whether it's a fit. But obviously they'd
like to keep their business information confidential. Would anyone have a model
"Non-Disclosure Agreements" I could look at to help draft the
agreement?<BR></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Thanks all.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> This is a very low income tenant/purchaser who has turned an
old run down mobile home into something that may have a negative value. IT
is an eye-sore. With only 2 payments all year the tenant/buyer is $2400
behind. The owner lives in another city and appears to be a low income senior
citizen.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>The client?s goal is to declare it
breached/ineffective/unenforceable and terminate it, coupled with a demand for
rent sufficient to get toward completing an unlawful detainer to get him out.
<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>But is the consensus that a 90 day notice of intent to forfeit such
a poorly drafted contract required?. <BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>The language is ?Client agrees to sell to ?named party? premises
described by address and a tax parcel number for $40,000 with payments at $400
per month?. It might be a option to purchase or a P&S?? The only other
thing it calls for tenant/purchaser to pay property taxes, home owners insurance
(which never happened), and utilities which are paid up to city.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>I am just trying to figure out if there is an inexpensive way
out.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>There is no legal description, just an address and a tax parcel
number .<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>As I re-examine it, the ?purchaser?s? signature is notarized but
the seller did not sign the document (although he had a handwritten separate
document with similar terms that he signed).<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Thanks all.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> This is a very low income tenant/purchaser who has turned an
old run down mobile home into something that may have a negative value. IT
is an eye-sore. With only 2 payments all year the tenant/buyer is $2400
behind. The owner lives in another city and appears to be a low income senior
citizen.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>The client?s goal is to declare it
breached/ineffective/unenforceable and terminate it, coupled with a demand for
rent sufficient to get toward completing an unlawful detainer to get him
out.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>But is the consensus that a 90 day notice of intent to forfeit such
a poorly drafted contract required?.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>The language is ?Client agrees to sell to ?named party? premises
described by address and a tax parcel number for $40,000 with payments at $400
per month?. It might be a option to purchase or a P&S?? The only other
thing it calls for tenant/purchaser to pay property taxes, home owners insurance
(which never happened), and utilities which are paid up to city.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>I am just trying to figure out if there is an inexpensive way
out.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>There is no legal description, just an address and a tax parcel
number .<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>As I re-examine it, the ?purchaser?s? signature is notarized but
the seller did not sign the document (although he had a handwritten separate
document with similar terms that he signed).<BR></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>I saw Roger Moss's post recommending a negotiated fix to this
situation, and I heartily agree if the buyer/tenant will cooperate.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>That said, some thoughts on the contractual situation. Was the
buyer living in the house before the contract was signed, or did buyer move in
at the time of signing? If buyer was paying rent before, there might be an
underlying rental agreement you could use. Client really needs to figure out the
goal, though. Would client prefer to (A) get the contract fixed up into a proper
real estate installment contract so it can be regularly enforced, or (B) declare
it breached/ineffective/unenforceable and terminate it, coupled with a demand
for rent sufficient to get toward completing an unlawful detainer to get him
out.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>The contract probably is not specifically enforceable because 3
paragraphs isn't likely to include all the necessary elements of a REPSA.
Doctrine of part performance might help the buyer, though, but I can't tell
without more facts. With the buyer occupying the house, the seller is at a
disadvantage, so a negotiated solution might be cheapest.<BR></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Subject: Re: [WSBARP] Landlord Tenant Act apply to defective
sale<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>I saw Roger Moss's post recommending a negotiated fix to this
situation, and I heartily agree if the buyer/tenant will cooperate.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>That said, some thoughts on the contractual situation. Was the
buyer living in the house before the contract was signed, or did buyer move in
at the time of signing? If buyer was paying rent before, there might be an
underlying rental agreement you could use. Client really needs to figure out the
goal, though. Would client prefer to (A) get the contract fixed up into a proper
real estate installment contract so it can be regularly enforced, or (B) declare
it breached/ineffective/unenforceable and terminate it, coupled with a demand
for rent sufficient to get toward completing an unlawful detainer to get him
out.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>The contract probably is not specifically enforceable because 3
paragraphs isn't likely to include all the necessary elements of a REPSA.
Doctrine of part performance might help the buyer, though, but I can't tell
without more facts. With the buyer occupying the house, the seller is at a
disadvantage, so a negotiated solution might be cheapest.<BR></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Ok, this may not be a very PC answer (and I fully expect to get
publicly flogged) but you might want to politely threaten the buyer with a
parade of horrible and expensive things. After that sinks in, then
generously come up with the ?creative solution? that the seller might be willing
to pay the buyer $500 to move and ?we?ll forget this whole thing
happened.? In other words, pay ?em to move. Cash for keys.<BR></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Thanks all.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> This is a very low income tenant/purchaser who has turned an
old run down mobile home into something that may have a negative value. IT
is an eye-sore. With only 2 payments all year the tenant/buyer is $2400
behind. The owner lives in another city and appears to be a low income senior
citizen.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>The client?s goal is to declare it
breached/ineffective/unenforceable and terminate it, coupled with a demand for
rent sufficient to get toward completing an unlawful detainer to get him out.
<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>But is the consensus that a 90 day notice of intent to forfeit such
a poorly drafted contract required?. <BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>The language is ?Client agrees to sell to ?named party? premises
described by address and a tax parcel number for $40,000 with payments at $400
per month?. It might be a option to purchase or a P&S?? The only other
thing it calls for tenant/purchaser to pay property taxes, home owners insurance
(which never happened), and utilities which are paid up to city.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>I am just trying to figure out if there is an inexpensive way
out.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>There is no legal description, just an address and a tax parcel
number .<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>As I re-examine it, the ?purchaser?s? signature is notarized but
the seller did not sign the document (although he had a handwritten separate
document with similar terms that he signed).<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Ok, this may not be a very PC answer (and I fully expect to get
publicly flogged) but you might want to politely threaten the buyer with a
parade of horrible and expensive things. After that sinks in, then
generously come up with the ?creative solution? that the seller might be willing
to pay the buyer $500 to move and ?we?ll forget this whole thing
happened.? In other words, pay ?em to move. Cash for keys.<BR></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Thanks all.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> This is a very low income tenant/purchaser who has turned an
old run down mobile home into something that may have a negative value. IT
is an eye-sore. With only 2 payments all year the tenant/buyer is $2400
behind. The owner lives in another city and appears to be a low income senior
citizen.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>The client?s goal is to declare it
breached/ineffective/unenforceable and terminate it, coupled with a demand for
rent sufficient to get toward completing an unlawful detainer to get him out.
<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>But is the consensus that a 90 day notice of intent to forfeit such
a poorly drafted contract required?. <BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>The language is ?Client agrees to sell to ?named party? premises
described by address and a tax parcel number for $40,000 with payments at $400
per month?. It might be a option to purchase or a P&S?? The only other
thing it calls for tenant/purchaser to pay property taxes, home owners insurance
(which never happened), and utilities which are paid up to city.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>I am just trying to figure out if there is an inexpensive way
out.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>There is no legal description, just an address and a tax parcel
number .<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>As I re-examine it, the ?purchaser?s? signature is notarized but
the seller did not sign the document (although he had a handwritten separate
document with similar terms that he signed).<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>I saw Roger Moss's post recommending a negotiated fix to this
situation, and I heartily agree if the buyer/tenant will cooperate.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>That said, some thoughts on the contractual situation. Was the
buyer living in the house before the contract was signed, or did buyer move in
at the time of signing? If buyer was paying rent before, there might be an
underlying rental agreement you could use. Client really needs to figure out the
goal, though. Would client prefer to (A) get the contract fixed up into a proper
real estate installment contract so it can be regularly enforced, or (B) declare
it breached/ineffective/unenforceable and terminate it, coupled with a demand
for rent sufficient to get toward completing an unlawful detainer to get him
out.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>The contract probably is not specifically enforceable because 3
paragraphs isn't likely to include all the necessary elements of a REPSA.
Doctrine of part performance might help the buyer, though, but I can't tell
without more facts. With the buyer occupying the house, the seller is at a
disadvantage, so a negotiated solution might be cheapest.<BR></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>There is a program in California (disclosure-I designed and manage

<DIV dir=ltr>> Ok, this may not be a very PC answer (and I fully expect to
get publicly flogged) but you might want to politely threaten the buyer with a
parade of horrible and expensive things. After that sinks in, then
generously come up with the ?creative solution? that the seller might be willing
to pay the buyer $500 to move and ?we?ll forget this whole thing
happened.? In other words, pay ?em to move. Cash for keys.<BR></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>> <BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> Thanks all.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> This is a very low income tenant/purchaser who has
turned an old run down mobile home into something that may have a negative
value. IT is an eye-sore. With only 2 payments all year the tenant/buyer
is $2400 behind. The owner lives in another city and appears to be a low income
senior citizen.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> The client?s goal is to declare it
breached/ineffective/unenforceable and terminate it, coupled with a demand for
rent sufficient to get toward completing an unlawful detainer to get him out.
<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> <BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> But is the consensus that a 90 day notice of intent to forfeit
such a poorly drafted contract required?. <BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> The language is ?Client agrees to sell to ?named party?
premises described by address and a tax parcel number for $40,000 with payments
at $400 per month?. It might be a option to purchase or a P&S?? The
only other thing it calls for tenant/purchaser to pay property taxes, home
owners insurance (which never happened), and utilities which are paid up to
city.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> I am just trying to figure out if there is an inexpensive way
out.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> There is no legal description, just an address and a tax
parcel number .<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> As I re-examine it, the ?purchaser?s? signature is notarized
but the seller did not sign the document (although he had a handwritten separate
document with similar terms that he signed).<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> <BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> Thanks<BR></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>> <BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> I saw Roger Moss's post recommending a negotiated fix to this
situation, and I heartily agree if the buyer/tenant will cooperate.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> <BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> That said, some thoughts on the contractual situation. Was the
buyer living in the house before the contract was signed, or did buyer move in
at the time of signing? If buyer was paying rent before, there might be an
underlying rental agreement you could use. Client really needs to figure out the
goal, though. Would client prefer to (A) get the contract fixed up into a proper
real estate installment contract so it can be regularly enforced, or (B) declare
it breached/ineffective/unenforceable and terminate it, coupled with a demand
for rent sufficient to get toward completing an unlawful detainer to get him
out.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> <BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> The contract probably is not specifically enforceable because
3 paragraphs isn't likely to include all the necessary elements of a REPSA.
Doctrine of part performance might help the buyer, though, but I can't tell
without more facts. With the buyer occupying the house, the seller is at a
disadvantage, so a negotiated solution might be cheapest.<BR></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>> <BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> Client entered into a home-made ?contract? to sell residence
for $40,000. Nothing was ever recorded. No REET paid. Only 2 $400 per
month payments made so far in 2019. ?Contract? is about 3 paragraphs long,
but was signed and notarized. ?If the payment is missed for 3 consecutive
months the property will be repossessed by [seller]?...<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> Client wants to consider it a rent to own agreement
notwithstanding rent is never mentioned and give a 14 day notice to pay rent or
vacate and then file unlawful detainer action under the landlord tenant
act.<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>> any thoughts?<BR></DIV>
