lease w/ option to own, landlord owe tenant for reno & forclose?

[Matt Berklacy]

under a lease with an option to buy at the end of lease..where landlord has non refundable option fee, is not crediting lease payment to balance, and has seperate document instruments..

if tenant fixes up property in any way ..painting, flooring, cleaning, hvac, appliance replace, etc)...can tenant legally ask court for refund of his/her reno or rehab?

Is there a way to word contract to avoid forclosure, and do eviction rather than forclose?

is this judge to judge, no uniform rule?

in my case, my existing properties are in Raleigh NC, and jax Florida.....and im looking for good duplicateble exit on existing and future properties..
