Eviction Rights Land Contract

Summary

If youre buying a property under a land contract in Ohio, the seller cant evict you without a court order. You have the right to a 30-day notice to fix any breaches. If youve paid 20% or more of the purchase price or resided at the property for 5 years or more, you have additional protections. If your girlfriend is the only one who signed the bank papers, she may technically be the only legal owner. However, living there for 9 years and making consistent payments might give you some rights. Consult a local attorney to discuss your specific situation and equitable interest.

Ok my girlfriend was the only one to sign the paper for the bank
If your girlfriend was the only one who signed the bank papers, she may technically be the only legal owner. However, living there for 9 years might give you some rights. It's best to consult a local attorney to discuss your specific situation.
The paper for the bank was saying we would make the payment every month
Have you been making payments consistently? If you've been contributing, it may help establish your equitable interest in the property. Legal advice from a local attorney would be beneficial in this situation.
