You can then direct the seller to go down to the title company or lawyers office and enter into the lease with option or lease purchase, getting their signatures notarized.3.

Regardless if the contract saying she is out the money or not, just give her her money back and be done with her, just make sure you get the lease cancellation in writing and have a signed receipt from her acknowledging she got the money back, and getting it all notarized is a good idea, then change the locks.

There are other companies besides SmartMove that you can use, I like it because it takes me out of the equation completely with regards to collecting that fee, entering information, etc.I wouldn't accept an in-hand credit report if it said their score was a thousand and it was notarized by God. 

They are the bank I'm using.Finally got paperwork in today, signed, notarized, and sent off to FedEx about 2 hours ago. 

If not, are they paying the late fee?)

Thank you for the overwhelming support and feedback.We do have a renters addendum in effect, (signed by the tenant and the manager and notarized) which specifically states, EMPHATICALLY, that the rent is due on the 1st and can be paid anytime prior to the 1st. 

I'd also stop by the police station and inform them of what you are doing and show them your written consent, they might laugh if it isn't a formal notarized consent. 

The contract doesn't need to be notarized, only the closing.  

What do they need to sign, what do I need to sign, what needs to be notarized, how do I get the deed, what needs to be recorded at the county, all of those basics.

Individuals and trusts have certain exceptions, LLCs do not. Are
