I’d give them 3 choices

Refund my money
Continue the lease this year since you have already paid
Go to court to settle it

I’m guessing one of the first two seeing as if their mother signed a check and cashed it from you for a lease your gonna win


The offered to refund the money, but I don't want that I want the lease. A little too late to find another place for opening day in 2-weeks. I will take it to small claims court and let the Justice of the Peace, Rusk County Texas, Precint 3 decide. At least the "lady" will have to drive here from Houston to be in court. I'll get some satisfaction from that.


I would be planning an exit strategy on getting your stuff off the property and your money back in case things don't go your way. Unfortunately I've been through a similar situation and in my case I found that landowners rights in Texas most often overrule any type of lease agreement even with a contract. Im wishing you the best and hope this works out to your best interest. It seems that just about anytime the offspring of the landowner you have been dealing with get involved problems start. At least that is my experience.
