Re: extortion, coercion,blackmail

Sorry, but no attorney in the world could render a legal opinion based on the extremely vague set of fact that you have given. I have no idea what type of contract it is, what the legal consideration is, whether C has anything to do with the contract, nor do I have a clue what renting has anything to do with it, etc. All contracts have to be interpreted by reading the entire contract. Take the contract and have an attorney review it, then ask your questions. Good luck.
