If the money is escrowed and she decides that she doesn't like the way the house was finished, the title company will probably not release the money to you until it's settled.

Otherwise when other released, they'll come back

My interpretation of what the landlord means is during the lease term at any point you can give a four month notice and be released from the remainder of the lease term.

Tell him you'll release him from the contract for the refund of your earnest money plus $2500 (or whatever).

Meaning, the cert buyer must get those paid and released in order to have free and clear title.

You can even have a tiered structure where at the release of each contingency more and more money becomes non-refundable.Nick all of my clients I work with I want to see their proof of funds.

You tell them what to offer etc. but as far as them giving you seller info or answering probing questions about the property they shouldn't release without the sellers written consent.It's important to know when signing a purchase and sale what kind of agency relationship is checked in the contract and what it means.

If they find that the home does meet the standards there's nothing you can do until the end of your lease unless the landlord releases you from the lease.

I should be getting a release of liability in May, at which time I want to move forward with this.

The best, if the lender has not already done this, you have your legal council file for a release of stay.
