Forclosure of Real Property sold on Contract for Deed
Three years ago, I sold a house in San Antonio, via Contract
for Deed. It was a simple contract between buyer and seller, signed by both parties and notarized. It stated
that the deed would not transfer to buyer until all payments
are made. Also, it stated that buyer would pay for home
owners association dues, and that buyer is responsible for
all repairs. Buyer understood these provisions and signed
contract. He is currently leasing the property (2 bedroom
home). He constantly has been late on payments, and I have
had to pay association dues the last 2 years. He also wants
me to pay for repairs, which, he knows is his responsiblility. Since the deed is still in my name at the
county courthouse in Bexar County, what must I do in order
to have him turn the house over to me?
