Unwanted Guests

Why isn’t rent to own something that works?

When you sign a lease, you’re paying rent to a landlord while simultaneously putting wear and tear on the house. If you “rent to own”, you’re losing money as a seller. You’re losing the opportunity to sell the home at market price. Renting to own is not an option, it’s not a thing people do. You can rent, and you can own. But doing one to the other in the same property is too much for anyone to handle, especially the realtor. They are first signing a lease, and then you’d have to draw up a contract with the NEW price of the home after the months of wear and tear from the tenant who rented it. Again, you only lose money.

What happens when a friend is staying in your apartment and you want them to leave, but they won’t?

Unfortunately, in the state of Florida, you can’t really do anything at all. You can file for eviction, but that’s a grueling process that no one wants to go through.
