Legal Answers
Q. Options to stop eviction in Ohio mobile home park after rent delay and breach of Promise to Pay Agreement?
A: It sounds as though the promise to pay was signed after the 3 day notice was given. If you made 2 of the 3 payments towards the current month's rent, then the notice to vacate would be invalid and rendered void based upon accepting rent for the future rent period.

However, if the payment agreement was entered after you were a month or more behind and you were paying for past rental periods then those payments will not help.
Q. How to proceed with land contract default and damages recovery in Ohio?
A: Your options to evict or foreclose are determined based upon the time the land install contract has existed and the amount paid towards the purchase price. If the land installment contract has existed for five (5) years or the Buyer has paid more than 20% of the purchase price, then you must foreclose. If less than five years or less than 20% of the purchase price, then you can evict resulting in forfeiture.

The above remedies are the only remedies available, unless the Buyer has paid less than the fair market rental value or there are excessive damages beyond normal wear and tear.
Q. Should I hire a lawyer for a civil court case against contractors who didn't complete the job as contracted?
A: Yes, you should hire an attorney. There are a number of issues that you must consider. For example, did they fail to complete or did you prevent their performance. Did the contract render time is of the essence. Was the delay in completion reasonable under the circumstances. Was the work necessary to complete within the scope of work, were there additions or changes. Were there any "repairs"? Were the repairs necessary, was the work done in an unworkmanlike manner? Is an expert witness necessary, or is the need for repairs within the kin of a layman?

You should seriously consider hiring an attorney.
