In the 'lease' part of the contract, spell out what happens if the payments are late.1) Payment is due the first of the month.2) Day 2 - Day 5 I'll need a cashier's check.3) Day 6 - Start boxing up your things...I have kids. you, mr. buyer, might have kids as well, but, no offense, I like my kids better than I like your kids.

In some cases all you are trying to do is be less offensive than the lender who is foreclosing.

Forgery on a contract is a serious offense.
