Even if you do not have a written contract you still have a verbal contract if someone has agreed to rent you an apartment for a specific price.

Is rent to own advisable for a seller?

If you want to sell it is an option. You collect the regular rent plus $200 more a month if they want to buy. All terms are agreed on before the contract begins and in the contract it will be desided who pays for repairs and when a balloon payment is due. At that time the 200 a month extra they have given you gp towards their down payment. This is done if you want to help someone with a house purchase and do not need the total payment right away.

What is illegal or unlawful contract?

It is a contract to committ an illegal or immoral act. It is not enforceable in Contract Law. For example you couldn't enforce payment of rent if you let a flat for the of prostitution or consumption of illegal drugs. An otherwise lawful contract can be tainted with illegality, for example a contact of employment wasn't enforceable where the parties had agreed to payment in a way that avoided liability for tax. Although this is not as strictly applied as it once was, especially if the inequality of power would make it unfair not to enforce the contract.
