Tag Archives: downpayment

I am living in a house that I went into under a lease with option to buy agreement.?

I lost my job shortly after entering into this lease with option to buy. I put ,500 up front and any amount over the rent 0 was to go toward the downpayment. The landlord will not make any repairs. I have paid for all of the repairs and upkeep of the house for almost two years. I have however been late with the rent several times. He has accepted it but continues to charge late fees on a ongoing basis and each month says that he is going to put me out. I have invested all the money that I had into this house and he wants me to move out and he keeps all of the money. I don’t think this is right since I have made all repairs and upkeep to the house since I have been here. Is there anything that I can do legally?
