They told me they are just breaking the lease.

I currently do leasing and 1 or 2 sales a year.

If you can't find reviews, be very concerned because there is more than one operator that frequently renames itself to distance itself from the bad reviews people have written. 

Closing on this home in April is usually a bad situation when trying to fill a student rental property. most leases are signed in October the year before hand.

It’s a “creatively” put lease option where I control the property and I pay the seller a percentage of the rents I collect untill I’m ready to purchase the property as a down payment torwards the purchase price ( it’s a year long option to buy) currently I’m renovating the property and getting it ready to rent.

How do you go about making up a lease? 

Purchase price of 105k2500 option payment paid over 3 months 1000 month for the first 3 months and then 1200/month for the rest of the year.1 year lease termDo any of you go with a more standard lease or do you just take repairs out of the option payment?

Should I add anything else to the lease to ensure that they run any major changes by me first?

Good idea to have a record of the unit's condition at move-in, at move-out and after cleaning was completed, along with the lease which has relevant clauses that state tenant liability for such damage.

I’m sure there are workarounds for that, but trying to buy a foreclosure, in the condition they frequently end up in, is going to be tough with a VA loan.
