My mother has been in a verbal rent-to-own agreement with her employer/landlord for six years, working full-time to pay off the house. Recently, he has been withholding her pay, claiming it goes towards the house payments, and now he is threatening to back out of the agreement. We have the original lease agreement, a voucher copy for a $10,000 rent payment with his signature, and witnesses to her work and the agreement. Can we use this evidence to enforce the verbal agreement and prevent him from taking back the house?
