Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
im 16 and im so upset pleez help answer my question
hi my fam and i have planned
on moving to NY...i have to leave all of my friends and the
one thing that was making me not be depressed is how cool
the house were renting until ours is built is. mom and dad
said our real estate agent just decided to sell it to these
other people jus bc they were takin the property across the
street as well. now i dont kno nething about real estate
sales but i do know my dad and mom gave our agent checks and
stuff like that...it was 98% definite the house was
ours...ive been getting ready tp leave my friends and
everything now it all just went down the drain. it doesnt
seem fair to me. I was just wondering if people are allowed
to do this to a familly. I know th other familly offered
more money bc they took the other property but we were there
FIRST he told us we were going to live there. please help
me, i want to know what i can do.
sincerely
a distr

Since you took the time to ask I will take the time to answer. All purchases or leases of real property (a house) must be in writing and signed otherwide they are unenforceable. If your parents gave a deposit and have a written lease signed by the owner of the rental house they can enforce it in court. Good luck.
