A:
If you agreed to perform work under the condition of a rent-to-own arrangement and the written agreement does not reflect the terms you discussed, you may have legal recourse to seek compensation for your work. In Pennsylvania, contracts are generally enforceable if there is a meeting of the minds, and the terms are clear and agreed upon by both parties. If the written agreement does not accurately represent your understanding and the other party refuses to pay for the work you performed, you may consider taking legal action.
To address the situation, you can start by discussing the matter with the other party and expressing your concerns about the discrepancy between the discussed terms and the written agreement. If informal resolution attempts fail, you may need to consult with an attorney who can review the details of your case and advise you on the best course of action. Depending on the circumstances, you may consider pursuing a legal claim for breach of contract or seeking remedies to enforce the original agreement. Keep any evidence of the discussions, the written agreement, and records of the work performed to support your case.
