What are the eviction procedures for a lease purchase tenant?
Full Question:
We have had a contract in place for the last 10 months for a young couple to buy my husband's former home. On numerous occasions they have not paid "rent" on time and have not carried through on the agreement to provide insurance on the home. They are now two months late on paying and we see no other way out other than to evict and put the house up for sale. What procedures do we need to do since this is a lease with option to purchase.

Answer:
You should provide notice of default under terms of the lease and law and state eviction will proceed if all the back payments and insurance are not paid. You may then pursue an eviction.
As a practical matter you might have a meeting with them to discuss the matter and ask if they will agree to leave and make payments on the back rent. It could save everyone money and time.
