I'm not really getting anywhere with that question, so here it is: My family had 24 acres, there were two residents on the property, I was given one of the old houses. They were in such bad shape they were to be torn down. I moved in and started trying to make it habitable. Mean while ,, this little ol lady kept comming by .. and befriended me. I told her my story, etc... she started showing interest in the land. She ask if it was for sale, it wasn't. But I knew my Brother would sell it if I presented it and her. Well she told me if she bought it ...I could live there as long as I wanted and my rent would never go up. (I do pay 500.00) and I had to pay for any repairs. I said thats fair. Bottom line a year + later I'm being evicited as if we never had an agreement. (It was verbal) And no it was not written into the sale, who would believe you can't trust a little ol lady? But when they purchased the property my brother stated that he put no value on the houses, and told my "friend" he had given me the house with the right to move it off the property, before the sale. But because she had assured me I could stay and the rent would stay the same.. I had no reason to not believe her. The owners don't want to reimburse me a penny of anything I have done, and I sank everything I had into it. I have a notorized statement from my brother stating what he had informed her, and that he was aware of our verbal agreement. Am I totally screwed?
