I was wondering about that too. For example, we're renting now with a legal lease. But, the lease technically says month to month from now on. Both parties are happy with a verbal agreement that it will be another year, and no-one wishes to bother with getting absentee landlords to sign new lease papers when the present lease is perfectly legal, and we are both assured by practicalities as well as verbal agreements that we are renting for another year. But, a third party wouldn't have proof of that. For all they know, the house could be standing vacant. Personally, I wouldn't mind resigning if asked because the owners need proof that I'm leasing now, which they don't have. This may or may not be where Nick is standing, but it is an example of everything being legal, while there is no written proof of it for a third party. As an aside, the housing market here is crazy. The house we're in has foundational problems that will eventually have to be fixed. But, as a tear down house, the lot is worth $750,000, with 500 feet of lakeshore and 2.5 acres in a near ideal location. We're renting for $1500/month because houses aren't selling....but few people have to sell so prices stay up. Since Teri is a minister, who's housing allowance is not subject to income tax, we have no tax incentive to buy.
