Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

There is so much wrong with the house I cannot afford to keep it because I am living on SS,Disability and a small penson.
what can he do if I just walk away from it since he is not willing to discuee it?

Your legal options depend on the facts in the matter. If you signed a contract for purchase or your name is on the title to the mobile home, it affects your options. If you have a signed contract, it may explain your rights for withdrawal from the purchase. If your name is on the title or not on the title, you can "walk away" but it may benefit you to express your action in writing to the seller and that you will not be liable for any additional costs. It appears that the seller has little basis for taking any action against you but you should record the facts, including the contractual breach of the seller, and discuss the issue with friends or an attorney.
