Contract Release Dispute Resolution

Summary

If a legally binding release from a contract was effective, the landlord may not have grounds to void it based on income requirements assessed later. Ensure the release agreement is in writing to strengthen your case. If the situation is complex, consider consulting a local attorney in Ohio to explore your options.

I had a legal binding release from contract through me and my roommate from the landlord. It went effective, */*/*. Later that month, the landlord texted me and said that contract is voided due to not reaching income requirements from roommate.

It sounds like a tricky situation, ****. Here are some points to consider:
- Contractual Obligations: If your release from the contract was legally binding and effective, the landlord may not have grounds to void it.

- Income Requirements: Typically, income requirements should be assessed before the lease agreement or any release.
- Written Agreement: Ensure you have the release agreement in writing. It strengthens your case.
