Q: My ex husband and I own a home in Ohio. I rented it out and they are renting to own with HUD paying the payments. HUD do

HUD does not know they are doing it. We have a rental agreement and a rent to own that was not noterized and no lawyer was involved. The payment is $600 monthly. HUD pays $525 n they pay $75 Wich is never on time and I told her I would start eviction process if it happens again.

My ex husband was in jail at this time. He is not going to sell to them.He is not in agreement with any as he wants to live there it's his house.

Was it legal to have HUD paying and is contract official ? There is a lease. And rent to own? I don't know what to do? This started August 2012 til current.

A: Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local real estate attorney to review all these facts, sort things out, and advise you. If an attorney did not draft the "rent to own" contract, it could have problems, and might not be enforceable. Your attorney will have to review it and advise you.
