Since you elect to not be on title, what method you you use to control the property during the negotiating period?

Rest assumed, its not just a matter of submitting surveys and sketches and waiting.

Just make sure to pay the balance before the interest free period expires.

Failure to correct within the time period, or repeating the same breach after the period, typically is grounds for lease termination, or some other step according to local law, and the tenant may be required to pay costs/damages as well.I would be quite surprised if the landlord were able to convince a judge to deduct the cost of mowing your yard under the circumstances you suggest.

Some are talking about the tenant not buying the property at the end of the lease period like it is a bad situation.

But here is the rest of the saga:My "apartment manager" has been known to mouth off and call people, unjustifiably no less "scum", "trailer trash" and so on and so forth.

Property damages have ranged into the thousands in repairs.In Enid, and the rest of OK, tenant damage is a CIVIL matter.

I hope you can share some of the Lease Option knowledge you've accumulated with the rest of the community.

Doing that though will mean they will have to pay the bank, (maybe not all of the deficiency) just over a period of time.

Your number one concern should be repairing your credit as this is what you will be graded on in almost everything you do for the rest of your life.
