You do not want to sell your house any more but you signed a contract can you cancel it?

It certainly depends on the local laws in your area but I have to tell you a signed contract is legal and binding - read all the print on the contract to see if there is anything stated on it that may pertain to your predicament.


A couple is living in your house on a contract for deed and were to put 5000 dollars down but only have put 2500 but have paid a monthly payment and no deed was ever signed can they be evicted?

If they have not signed a contract, there is no sale. All transfers of real property must be in writing. If they have signed a contract, they have failed to live up to their part of the agreement and the contract can be voided. You need to consult an attorney in your jurisdiction.
