You have lived there for 5 years with the understanding it was rent to buy. You never stated the reasons he gave you but you need to get a hold of a lawyer.
In some states you lived there long enough to put a claim on the house as the owner. Its called homesteading and its still legal in most states. Doesn't matter who has the deed if you lived there you can claim it as your own.
I knew a gal that did that because she was having a problem with the owner of the house. I never heard of such a thing before but she won and later on sold the house and it was all her money in the return. Check with a lawyer and see if he thinks you can do that too. People who cheat can get the rug pulled out from under them in other ways! |

According to the Statute of Frauds all leases have to be in writing in order to be enforceable. A verbal agreement is unenforceable. |

Yeah, call a lawyer. I read once that verbal contracts can be binding, but they're a bit tricky. There has to be consideration (money change hands), and a witness (might have been two), there was something else that I can't remember right now.... so call a lawyer. Find one that says quickly that verbal contracts can be enforceable. The ones that tell you "no contract, no deal" just say thanks and look for another. |

If you had this rent to own agreement in writing, I assume you have a copy, then its binding, he can't just break the lease because he wants too. If you broke a rule in the lease he had to let you know in writing. Don't let your landlord take advantage of you. Get a lawyer before he tries to get rid of you.
If you didn't have the agreement in writing your in trouble because he can do as he pleases. One thing that can save you is, if you kept the rent receipts or copies of money orders or checks that you have made out to him. That would be your only way of proving how long you have lived there.
Good Luck |

You never had this agreement in writing? Then he can do what he pleases. Do not be surprised if he evicts you next. Since you have no proof of the agreement, it would be your word against his n a court of law. It would be costly to sue him, and there is the chance you would lose. I would move since there is no lease keeping you there. |

In the U.S., under the Statute of Frauds all real estate transactions and leases of one year or more MUST be in writing. Without a written agreement, you are renting month-to-month. |

There should have been a written agreement. Absent such agreement, he can do as he pleases. The proper way to structure such a deal is as a lease incorporating an option to purchase, and all the terms of both need to be in the written agreement. The landlord should have recorded a "Memorandum of Option", which need not mention all the terms but must state that a purchase option exists and when it expires. This is the purchaser's insurance that the owner does not sell the property to someone else. |
