Instead of asking lawyers to advise you on important terms of a contract they have never seen, you should start by asking the landlord what happens when you want to leave early.
It was to be sold within a reasonable time period. He refuses to respond to any requests. It's in our divorce decree, I am having financial problems. I never got a walk through, he still has some of my property. I only want what is written.

Yes. If your ex spouse has failed to follow a provision in your Divorce Decree you can file a petition seeking to have him held in contempt. If successful a finding of contempt will force him to do what he has not done and may entitle you to attorney fees as well. You should get with an attorney... View More

Do you have a contract with them? What does the contract say? Who wrote the document that sets out the contract? Those are important questions for starters. The big picture view is this: if they don't want to perform, why would you want to make them? There may be a good answer here. You would... View More

You need to take the contract to an attorney and have him review it. Finding "loopholes" is not as easy as your changing your mind about your career path. Get some legal help here.
I'm on a month to month and do plan to be out no later than Oct 13th but dont want to be battling him in court and want my security deposit back. However he sent in a text message that 9/30/18 would be my last month.

The landlord may not terminate your tenancy via text message.
That's all the text said. So I asked is October 1 day I have to be moved. He responded yes. I did ask for something in writing never received. Then I received another text stating that if I stayed past 9/30/18 rent would be 3 times monthly amount $2670.00. Is this legal? I would understand a... View More

Go back to the landlord and tell him that you will not move in until the defects are fixed. You might need to hire an attorney in the county where the apartment is located.

Because I don't know what your contract for sale says, there is no way I can answer your question. The contract should set out that if the inspection reveals issues that should be repaired that you can get out of the deal and get your earnest money. But.... I don't know what the contract...

My recollection is that sample packages do not have the typical recession rights as a true timeshare purchase. That being said, you may still have some options if you'd like to get an attorney involved and depending on how the purchase was structured.

Are you subject to a written lease? If so, read the lease. The duties as to fees and such things are spelled out there. If the landlord has violated the terms of the lease, you may be able to break it and move out. Take the document to an attorney and get him or her to read it carefully and explain... View More
