Landlord sold property to 3rd party while he had a Lease Purchase Option with tenant. Now what?
Here is what happened. Landlord made a written agreement with the tenant to sell the property for $x anytime in the next 20 years in exchange for a non-refundable downpayment/deposit of $y. Tenant continued to lease property under a separate agreement. Unknown to tenant the landlord sold the property to a 3rd party without disclosing the option. What rights do the tenant and 3rd party have here?
