Re: suing my seller/landlord
What you signed was probably called a Contract for Deed -- and the law hates to see forfeiture under such contracts. Therefore, there will be several legal presumptions in your favor. This is not a simple lawsuit, and if you can arrange legal representation, I STRONGLY recommend that you get counsel. Many lawyers do discount service in some circumstances, or take payment plans.
