Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Pennsylvania

How can I sue under unjust conditions?

We have done extensive work to a property we were renting with the intentions of eventually puchasing the property. The property was in horrible condition when we moved in, to some almost inhabitable. We have done extremley high end work with the very best materials used. Now the land lord does not want to sell the property. We have nine children and poored our heart and soul and every penny we had to provide a beautiful home for our children to prove our selves to property owner and use sweat equity to help with the down payment. We have been here for 51/2 yrs. The landlord never indicacted he was not selling the property any more. Now that trhe work is done he has gone to a property manager to manage the property and would like raise our rent. We do not think this is fair to expect us to pay more all the improvements that we have made and we would like to have compensation for the work we paid for to purchase a home else where. We certainly would not have done any of this if we were told the oppurtunity no longer exsisted to purchase this home. We were told to sue him for unjust conditions Is this really possible? Do you think we have any chance of regaining any monies?

Scott's right.

You do need to consult an attorney, but when you repost, ask about "unjust enrichment" (not "conditions").

I gotta say, though, if you didn't have a written contract, or even an express promise from the landlord, giving you an option to purchase or a right of first refusal, it's not an easy case. So that's why you really need to hire an attorney.
