On a land contract in Ohio can the lesses resell the property?
A land contract is just like any other contract, complete with contract law principles. No one can sell the property until either the contract is either fufilled or breached. If it is fufilled, then it becomes the property of the one purchasing the property and after they have successfully completed the contract, they then are free to sell it to whomever they wish. But, if the contract is breached, it is then still the original owners and they can do as they wish, keep the property, sell the property or find another individual willing to enter into another land lease contract. So, while the property is tied up in a land lease contract, no one can sell or buy it until either a satisfaction or breach of the contract is committed.
What is the difference between sale agreement and agreement to sell?
AnswerA "sale" is (colloquially) a completed transaction where the only remaining duties of the buyer may be timely rejection after inspection, and the only remaining duty of seller is to honor any express or implied warranty. This assumes the full price was paid during the sale and the goods were delivered, otherwise, the sale is not technically complete.An "agreement to sell" is a contract that envisions (or defines) a future sale, thus all conditions precedent and other terms (delivery, payment, etc), continue to be "executory", that is, are yet to be fully carried out. A breach of this contract could result in a court order of specific performance, or for damages caused by the loss of the opportunity to buy or sell.DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SALE AND AGREEMENT TO SELLTransfer of property (ownership): - In a 'sale' the property in goods passes to the buyer immediately at the time of making the contract In 'an agreement to sell' there is no transfer of property to the buyer at the time of the contract.Risk of loss. The general rule is that unless otherwise agreed, the risk of loss primarily passes with property (Sec. 26). Thus in case of sale, if the goods are destroyed the loss falls on the buyer even though the goods may never have come into his possession because the property in the goods has already passed to the buyer. On the other hand, in case of an agreement to sell where the ownership in the goods is yet to pass from the seller to the buyer, such loss has to be borne by the seller even though the goods are in the possession of the buyer.
What is the difference between deed of sale to deed of absolute sale?
There is no substantial difference between DEED OF SALE and DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE, except the words that constituted it. Because all sales are absolute whether movable or immovable, unless there is a condition provided in a particular contract, hence, it is another contract also called CONTRACT TO SELL. A CONTRACT TO SELL is substantially different from CONTRACT OF SALE, because the CONTRACT OF SALE is the DEED OF SALE or DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE itself. The rationale of this CONTRACT OF SALE is that the rights of ownership, including all that is incidental with it are transferred absolutely upon the delivery of the thing sold without any condition; while this CONTRACT TO SELL imposes suspensive condition that is by agreement the title is reserve in the seller until the fulfillment of an obligation, thus, it is also called DEED OF CONDITIONAL SALE. My answer to this query is supported by doctrines of legal authority in the Philippines, no other than the Honorable Supreme Court. In the avalanche of cases decided by the Supreme Court, it consistently declared that; "The distinction between a contract to sell and a contract of sale is quite germane. In a contract of sale, title passes to the vendee upon the delivery of the thing sold; whereas in a contract to sell, by agreement the ownership is reserved in the vendor and is not to pass until the full payment of the price. In a contract of sale, the vendor has lost and cannot recover ownership until and unless the contract is resolved or rescinded; whereas in a contract to sell, title is retained by the vendor until the full payment of the price, such payment being a positive suspensive condition and failure of which is not a breach but an event that prevents the obligation of the vendor to convey title from becoming effective."
