Im not seeing it anywhere on the lease that i would have to pay water only electricity

You are not clearly stating what the title problem is, but it appears your llc transfer was faulty which happens alot. To convey out, you must cure the cloud on the title, which apparently only needs a correction deed here. If you do not wish to cure the title defect in order to convey... View More
