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.
