Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Ohio
Lease option contracts
Can contracts that have ended be renewed after an eviction that has been resolved?He agreed to let me stay after we went to court. I had to pay what I owed, plus attorney fees.Instead of picking up where the contract left off, he is starting a new one for another year. Is it legal?

Re: Lease option contracts
Yes, absolutely. An eviction cannot be filed without some breach of the underlying lease/contract by the tenant. Even if the eviction issues are settled, the original contract cannot be reinstated without agreement of both parties.
