Definitely should not have released the new app as it’s useless.

You don't want them to run the tenant off just to get a re-leasing fee.   

I am now being told by my realtor that I can not sell the house to another buyer until the 1st buyer releases the escrow money.

Some directed me to a bank website where the homes were offered for sale.Some banks informed me that they wait until they have a certain number of properties in a given area with clear deeds and release them all at once during a certain time of year.

I don’t think they put on the contract that their duty is to find you the most competitive price so don’t see a high likelihood of the contract being void and releasing you from whatever you signed.

But would it be possible to put some language in an offer that says that the purchase is contingent on the current landlord being able to negotiate the release of one of the tenants from their current lease?

You would then only sign a release of lien when they pay you the judgement amount but it could be years if ever you get the money.

Did you release him from lease?

It really releases you from the resentment of constantly stressing about how *they* are spending *their* money i.e.

The contingency reserve may be released only if required, necessary, and unforeseen repairs or deficiencies are discovered during the renovation.
