809 SE 61, LLC v. Julio Cesar Barron Retamoza

Filed: Feb 13, 2026
Type: CJ

What's This Case About?

Let’s be honest: most rental agreements don’t end in foreclosure. But this one? This one ends with a landlord trying to foreclose on a tenant—not for missing mortgage payments, because there is no mortgage. No, this is something far more bizarre: a lease agreement so twisted, so loaded with financial landmines, that after nearly a decade of rent checks (or lack thereof), the landlord isn’t just asking for back rent. They’re asking to take the house—a house the tenant never technically owned—and sell it at auction like it’s some kind of reverse Trading Spaces gone horribly wrong.

Welcome to the wild world of 809 SE 61, LLC vs. Julio Cesar Barron Retamoza and Maricela Romero Lopez, where a simple rental deal morphs into a high-stakes real estate gamble, and the stakes? A modest Oklahoma City bungalow and $56,450 in unpaid bills.

So who are these people? On one side, we’ve got 809 SE 61, LLC—a limited liability company with a name that sounds like a GPS coordinate and a legal team ready to pounce. Represented by attorneys from Nash, Cohenour & Giessmann, P.C., this isn’t some mom-and-pop landlord collecting rent in cash under the table. This is a business built on contracts, and lots of them. On the other side: Julio and Maricela, a couple who, back in 2016, signed what can only be described as a rent-to-possibly-buy-if-you-survive-the-paperwork agreement. They wanted a home. They got a 50-page legal thriller instead.

The story starts innocently enough. November 1, 2016: move-in day. Julio and Maricela take possession of a house at 809 SE 61st Street in Oklahoma City under a “Triple Net Residential Lease Agreement with Option to Purchase and Tenant Savings Account.” Say that five times fast. This isn’t your standard lease. It’s more like a financial obstacle course. For $868.44 a month—broken down into base rent, property taxes, insurance, and a mysterious “Tenant Savings Account” (TSA)—they were allowed to live in the house and save toward eventually buying it. The purchase price? A fixed $56,450, locked in for ten years, regardless of market value. A steal, maybe, if you could actually afford it.

But here’s the catch: this wasn’t just rent. It was a contractual time bomb. The lease had two five-year terms. The first ran from 2016 to 2021. If they didn’t buy by then, they could extend into a second term—2021 to 2026—with the same terms. But—and there are so many buts—every clause was designed to protect the landlord, not the tenant. Miss a payment? Default. Withdraw your own savings? Default. Fail to give 90 days’ notice about whether you want to buy or extend? Automatic default. And if you default? The whole thing collapses. The landlord keeps your $10,000 non-refundable “option fee,” can accelerate all remaining rent, and—here’s the kicker—treat the lease like an equitable mortgage and foreclose on the property.

Yes. Foreclose. On a tenant.

Now, according to the filing, Julio and Maricela made their last payment in August 2025. One month before the second lease term was set to expire. One month before the finish line. And then… nothing. No purchase. No extension. No rent. Just silence. So the landlord, citing breach of contract, is now suing for $56,450—the full purchase price, which they now claim is owed as unpaid rent and damages. And because the lease also functioned as an equitable mortgage (a legal fiction where a lease is treated like a loan secured by the property), they’re asking the court to foreclose on the house, sell it, and use the proceeds to cover what’s owed.

Let that sink in: a tenant didn’t pay rent, so now the landlord wants to take and sell the house the tenant never owned.

Why are they in court? Legally, the landlord is making two claims. First: breach of contract. Julio and Maricela didn’t pay, didn’t extend, didn’t buy—so they broke the lease. Fair enough. Second: foreclosure of an equitable mortgage lien. This is the wild one. Because the lease included a purchase option and monthly payments that were supposed to build equity (via the TSA), the landlord argues it should be treated like a mortgage. When you default on a mortgage, the bank forecloses. Here, the LLC wants to do the same—except the “borrower” was just a tenant with dreams, not a homeowner with a down payment.

And what do they want? $56,450. Plus interest. Plus late fees. Plus attorney fees. Plus the right to sell the house. Is $56,450 a lot? For a house in Oklahoma City? Honestly, not really. Zillow says homes in that area go for way more. But for a tenant who paid nearly $10,000 just for the chance to buy, and who may have paid thousands in rent over ten years, it’s a gut punch. They didn’t get the house. They didn’t get their money back. And now they might get sued into oblivion for a price tag that was supposed to be their ticket to ownership.

Our take? The most absurd part isn’t even the foreclosure. It’s the structure of this deal. A $10,000 non-refundable fee just to option a $56k house? A savings account that the landlord controls? A lease that turns into a mortgage if you sneeze wrong? This isn’t a path to homeownership—it’s a predatory maze disguised as opportunity. And while Julio and Maricela may have defaulted, the real villain here might be the contract itself: a 50-page behemoth that reads less like a lease and more like a legal trap for people trying to climb the housing ladder.

We’re not rooting for the landlord. We’re not even rooting for the tenants, necessarily. We’re rooting for common sense. For leases that don’t require a law degree. For options that don’t vanish if you miss a notice by a day. For a system where trying to buy a home doesn’t end with you owing more than the house is worth—and facing foreclosure for a property you never actually owned.

This case isn’t just petty. It’s perverse. And it’s playing out in Oklahoma County, one missed rent check at a time.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the Recitals set forth above, the Agreements set forth below, and in further consideration of the sum of ten dollars ($10.00) and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by both Parties, it is therefore agreed as follows: AGREEMENTS 1. Primary Term. Unless terminated earlier as provided for herein, the term of this Agreement shall be for a period of sixty (60) months, commencing the 1st day of November, 2016, (the “Commencement Date”), and shall automatically expire on the 31st day of October, 2021. (referred to as the “Primary Term”). Prior to the Expiration of the Primary Term, Tenant has the option to either (i) purchase the Property before the expiration of the Primary Term, or (ii) agree to extend this Agreement into the Secondary Term. In the event that Tenant does not purchase the Property, AND does not agree to extend this Agreement into the Secondary Term, this Agreement, including Tenant's Purchase Option and right to lease the Property, shall automatically terminate without further action or notice being required by Landlord. 2. Base Rent during Primary Term. During the Primary Term, Tenant agrees to pay as rent for the Property the total sum of Forty Seven Thousand Four Hundred Four and 20/100 Dollars ($47,404.20) (the "Total Primary Base Rent"), payable in monthly installment payments and payable in advance on the first day of each month during the Primary Term, in equal monthly installments of Seven Hundred Ninety and 07/100 Dollars ($790.07), ("Monthly Primary Base Rent"). The Monthly Primary Base Rent for the first month of the Primary Term is due December 1, 2016. If the term of this Agreement begins on a day other than the first day of the month, then in addition to Tenant paying the first full month's rent, Tenant shall also pay the current month’s rent on a pro-rata basis based upon a 30-day month. The next ensuing installment of Monthly Primary Base Rent is payable on January 1, 2016. A late charge in the amount of Eighty and No/100 Dollars ($80.00) is due on all Monthly Primary Base Rent not received by the 10th day of the month. In the event that any check delivered by Tenant is returned by Tenant’s bank for any reason (insufficient funds, stopped payment, etc.), Tenant agrees: (i) To replace the returned check with certified funds within twenty-four (24) hours. Dishonored checks will not be redeposited; (ii) Tenant shall be charged thirty-five dollars ($35.00) for each and every dishonored check in addition to any other applicable late charges or fees set forth herein; and (iii) Upon the second occurrence of Tenant’s checks being returned as insufficient or otherwise dishonored by Tenant’s bank, Tenant shall pay all further and future Rent with cashier’s checks or money orders. 3. Secondary Term. In the event that Tenant does not purchase the Property before the expiration of the Primary Term, but Tenant still desires to lease the Property, the Secondary Term shall begin at the expiration of the Primary Term, and shall automatically expire on the 31st day of October, 2026. (referred to as the “Secondary Term”). If Tenant does not close the purchase of the Property before the Secondary Term expires, this Agreement, including Tenant’s Purchase Option and right to lease the Property, shall automatically terminate. 4. Base Rent during Secondary Term. In the event that this Agreement is extended into a Secondary Term, Tenant agrees to pay as rent for the Property the total sum of Forty Seven Thousand Four Hundred Four and 20/100 Dollars ($47,404.20) (the "Total Secondary Base Rent"), payable in monthly installment payments and payable in advance on the first day of each month during the Secondary Term, in equal monthly installments of Seven Hundred Ninety and 20/100 Dollars ($790.07) ("Monthly Secondary Base Rent"). The Monthly Secondary Base Rent for the first month of the Secondary Term is payable concurrently with the expiration of the Primary Term. All prior fees, late charges, and payment requirements provided for during the Primary Term, shall continue in full force and effect during the Secondary Term of the Agreement. For convenience purposes only, Monthly Primary Base Rent and Monthly Secondary Base Rent may generally be referred to hereafter as “Monthly Rent Payments”. 5. Reimbursement of Real Property Taxes. During either the Primary Term or the Secondary Term, in addition to the Base Rent, Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for all real property ad valorem taxes ("Real Property Taxes") assessed against the Property. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on a pro-rata monthly basis. The parties have estimated that the initial average monthly expense for the Real Property Taxes is $41.17. If the initial monthly expense paid by Tenant, based upon a twelve (12) month total average, is determined by Landlord to be insufficient to pay the subject taxes in full, and/or if the subject taxes are increased during any Term hereof, Landlord shall be entitled to adjust the amount that Tenant is paying monthly for such taxes, so as to ensure that all taxes assessed against the Property are paid in full by Tenant, based upon the cumulative amount of twelve (12) monthly consecutive payments. An escrow account will be established and maintained for the annual taxes and insurance payments. Tenant agrees to deposit and keep an additional three (3) months of taxes and insurance in said escrow account at all times. 6. Reimbursement of Dwelling General Liability Insurance. During either the Primary Term or the Secondary Term, in addition to the Monthly Rent Payments of either Term and reimbursement of the Real Property Taxes, Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for the expense ("Insurance Premiums") of maintaining dwelling general liability insurance and full replacement coverage insurance for the Property. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for all Insurance Premiums paid or incurred by Landlord to maintain general liability insurance and full replacement coverage insurance on the Property on a pro-rata monthly basis. The parties have estimated that the average monthly cost for the general liability insurance for the Property is $37.20. If, and as often as, Landlord's expense for the Insurance Premiums are increased, Landlord shall be entitled to adjust the amount that Tenant is paying monthly for such Insurance Premiums, so as to ensure that all Insurance Premiums billed to Landlord are paid in full by Tenant, based upon the cumulative amount of twelve (12) monthly consecutive payments 7. Tenant Savings Account. To assist in Tenant's efforts to save the money required to purchase the Property, Tenant is required to participate in the TSA program as set forth below. A. TSA Monthly Contribution. During the Primary Term, Tenant agrees to contribute the sum of __To be determined, if any, at Tenants option________ Dollars and No/100 ($______________) (the "TSA Contribution") each month to their TSA. In the event that this Agreement is continued into the Secondary Term, the TSA Contribution shall be adjusted to a new amount of ________________ Dollars and No/100 ($________________). The TSA Contribution shall be in addition to the Monthly Rent Payments, Real Property Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to lease the Property. Tenant, at Tenant's sole discretion, may elect to contribute more than the minimum monthly TSA Contribution amount, which said funds will also be deposited into Tenant's TSA. The TSA Contribution shall be made at the same time Tenant makes Tenant's Monthly Rent Payments. Tenant may make their TSA Contribution by either separate payment, due at the same time that the monthly rent payment is due, or by including the TSA Contribution in a single payment with Tenant's rent payment. In the event that Tenant elects to make one payment, Landlord shall be authorized to deduct the TSA Contribution from the single payment and deposit that amount in Tenant's TSA. In the event that Tenant fails to make the required monthly TSA contribution, this Agreement, including Tenant’s Purchase Option and right to lease the Property, shall immediately and automatically terminate without any further action or notice by the Landlord, and Landlord shall be entitled to retain the Option Fee; and Landlord shall be entitled to retain any TSA funds on deposit with Landlord’s escrow account as may be required to compensate Landlord for Landlord’s damages. B. Escrow Account. Landlord agrees to allow Tenant to deposit Tenant’s monthly TSA contribution into Landlord’s escrow account, provided that the funds deposited under the TSA shall remain Tenant’s sole and exclusive property and can be withdrawn at any time as long as Tenant is not otherwise in default of this Agreement. Tenant agrees that Landlord may deposit Tenant’s TSA Contribution in an escrow account which may contain funds from other TSA accounts owned by other tenants of Landlord and/or Landlord’s Management Company, provided that Landlord and Landlord’s Management Company will always account for Tenant’s individual TSA balance. The funds deposited into Tenant’s TSA shall not accrue interest. All ownership of Tenant’s funds on deposit in Landlord’s escrow account shall remain with Tenant, subject to Landlord’s Lien as provided for below. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord will comply with any garnishment, order or writ of attachment issued by a court of competent jurisdiction regarding any of Tenant’s funds deposited in the TSA. C. Lien. Tenant hereby grants Landlord a lien on, a security interest in, and the right of setoff against the funds deposited into Tenant’s TSA to secure the prompt payment of Tenant’s Monthly Rent Payments and any other of Tenant’s obligations required by this Agreement, whether now existing or hereafter arising as a result of a breach by Tenant, including Landlords’ damages, reasonable expenses, charges and legal fees that may be required to enforce any provision of this Agreement. D. Withdrawal. As long as Tenant is not in default, Tenant shall be entitled to withdraw the funds from Tenant’s TSA at any time, PROVIDED, that in the event that Tenant withdraws funds from the TSA, this Agreement, including Tenant’s right to lease the Property, shall immediately and automatically terminate without any further action or notice required by Landlord, and Tenant’s Purchase Option shall be considered null and void, and Landlord shall be entitled to retain the Option Fee as and for Landlord’s liquidated damages. Further, Landlord shall be entitled to retain any of Tenant’s TSA funds on deposit with Landlord’s escrow account as may be required to compensate Landlord for Landlord’s damages and losses. 8. Tenant’s Total Monthly Payment. During either the Primary Term or the Secondary Term of this Agreement, Tenant shall pay the sum of the Monthly Rent Payments, the monthly average of the Real Property Taxes, the monthly average of the Insurance Premiums, and the monthly TSA Contribution (all of which is collectively referred to as the “Total Monthly Payment”) on or before the first day of each and every successive calendar month during either the Primary Term or the Secondary Term. Accordingly, Tenant’s initial Total Monthly Payment obligation to Landlord is calculated as follows: $790.07 (Monthly Primary Base Rent), Plus $41.17 (Initial Monthly Average of the Real Property Taxes), Plus $37.20 (Initial Monthly Average of the Insurance Premiums), Plus $ To follow, if any (Tenant’s Initial Monthly Payment to Tenant’s TSA Contribution), Equals $868.44 (Tenant’s Initial Total Monthly Payment to Landlord). Tenant also acknowledges and agrees that, from time to time, during the Primary Term or Secondary Term of this Agreement, the Real Property Taxes assessed by the county assessor, and the Insurance Premiums charged for the insurance coverage as required herein, may increase or decrease. Therefore, each and every time Landlord receives notice of an increase or decrease in the Real Property Taxes and/or Insurance Premiums, the Total Monthly Payment shall be immediately adjusted to account for such increases or decreases. When Landlord receives notice of an increase or decrease, Landlord will notify Tenant in writing, (which may be sent by email), regarding (1) the amount of the increase or decrease, (2) how much the new Total Monthly Payment will be, and (3) the effective date of the increase in the Total Monthly Payment ("Landlord’s Notice of Payment Adjustment"). Landlord’s Notice of Payment Adjustment shall serve as the Parties’ agreement to then adjust the Total Monthly Payment in accordance with Landlord’s notice, without the need or necessity of drafting an addendum or amendment to this Agreement. 9. Maintenance and Repairs. Tenant shall pay any and all costs of repairs with respect to the Property, including taxes and assessments, costs and expenses of every nature except as specifically provided for in this Agreement. Tenant shall keep the Property in good order and condition, and shall, at Tenant's own expense, keep all Tenant's personal property, fixtures, improvements and permitted alterations in good order, condition and repair, including but not limited to all interior and exterior portions thereof and to do all other necessary maintenance in connection with the Property while this Agreement is in effect. Tenant shall not undertake repairs to the Property that are reasonably estimated to cost more than $500.00, but instead shall notify Landlord concerning necessary repairs, and Landlord shall cause the same to be repaired by Landlord’s contractors, and Tenant shall pay the entire costs of any such repairs, plus an additional 15% administrative charge. Tenant also agrees to perform and pay for all maintenance and repair expenses with respect to all lawn shrubbery, snow removal and sprinkler system charges. As the possible future purchaser of the Property, Tenant further expressly waives any and all rights Tenant may have under any applicable Oklahoma law regarding Landlord being responsible for any repairs. Tenant shall not permit any mechanics' or materialmen's liens to attach to the Property. Any and all repairs, replacements, redecorations, improvements, modifications, alterations or otherwise (collectively “Improvements”) that Tenant may cause to occur shall be at Tenant’s sole and exclusive expense, with no right or claim of reimbursement from Landlord, regardless of whether or not Tenant ultimately purchases the Property pursuant to any separate agreement with Landlord. 10. "As-Is" Condition. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant has inspected the Property and hereby accepts the same in its "AS-IS" condition. Tenant specifically confirms that the Property is suitable to Tenant for the purposes for which the same is leased and hereby waives any and all defects therein. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has not and will not make any representations or warranties concerning the condition of the Property (whether expressed, implied, or fitness for a particular purpose). 11. Deposit. Tenant hereby deposits with Landlord simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement the sum of ________NA____________ ($______________) (the "Deposit"). The Deposit will be held by Landlord throughout either the Primary Term or Secondary Term without liability for interest and as security for the performance by Tenant of Tenant's obligations hereunder, it being expressly understood that the Deposit will not be considered an advance payment of any Total Monthly Payment or a measure of Landlord's damages for any Default (as hereafter defined) by the Tenant. In the event Landlord repossesses the Property following any Default by Tenant, Landlord may apply the Deposit to all damages suffered by Landlord to the date of such repossession and may retain the balance thereof to apply to such additional damage Landlord may thereafter suffer. If Tenant is not in Default at the termination of this Lease, the Deposit shall be applied in accordance with the Oklahoma Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. If Landlord transfers Landlord's interest in the Property during the Lease Term to any third party, Landlord may assign the Deposit to the transferee and thereafter Landlord will have no further liability with respect to the Deposit. 12. Occupancy. If for any reason Landlord is unable to deliver the Property to Tenant for occupancy on the Commencement Date, this Agreement will nevertheless continue in effect, provided, however, that: (a) Tenant's Initial Total Monthly Payment will abate and not commence until the Property is delivered to Tenant, vacant and ready for occupancy; and (b) the Primary Term will be extended by the period of time which elapses between the Commencement Date and the date Tenant actually takes occupancy. The foregoing abatement and extension will be for a period not to exceed two (2) days unless Landlord and Tenant otherwise agree in writing. The abatement of the Total Monthly Payment will constitute full settlement of all claims which Tenant might otherwise have against Landlord by reason of any such delay in occupancy of the Property. Tenant acknowledges receipt of two (2) keys to the Property and NA (NA) remote control garage door openers. At Tenant's expense, Tenant may re-key existing locks on the residence, but Tenant shall then promptly deliver duplicate keys to Landlord upon any such installation. 13. Use of Property. Tenant agrees not to use the Property for any purpose other than as a private residence to be occupied by Tenant and those members of Tenant's family whose names and ages appear below, and no others: NAME AGE RELATIONSHIP _________________________ __6__ Son Plus any additional childred born or adopted into the family _________________________ _____ __________________________ _________________________ _____ __________________________ _________________________ _____ __________________________ It is expressly understood and agreed by Tenant that the foregoing character of the occupancy of the Property and the limitation of the use of the same to Tenant's family, as above designated, is a special inducement for the granting of this Agreement by Landlord. Tenant agrees that no other person may occupy the Property other than the above-designated person or persons, other than another party married into, born into, or adopted into the family, without Landlord's written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord's sole discretion. Tenant shall not use, or suffer or permit any person or persons in any manner whatsoever to use the Property for any purpose in violation of the laws of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Property. 14. Duties and Maintenance by Tenant. Except for structural repairs, Tenant shall at all times during the term of this Agreement: A. Make all repairs and do whatever is necessary to put and keep the Property in a fit and habitable condition; B. Keep in a fit and habitable condition the walls, floor and roof of the residence, and all water, sewer, gas, and electrical lines from the outside service lines to the residence; and C. Tenant acknowledges that the Property is equipped with smoke detector(s) in good working order and repair. Tenant agrees to be solely responsible to check all smoke detectors every thirty (30) days and notify Landlord’s Management Company if any of the smoke detectors are not functioning properly. Tenant shall maintain batteries in all smoke detectors as needed; and D. Tenant agrees to keep and maintain the Property in good condition and repair, including keeping the yard mowed, watered and the shrubbery trimmed. (Maintenance of all trees located on the Property shall be governed as set forth in subparagraph “E” immediately below.) If Tenant fails to maintain the Property, yard and shrubbery, as set forth above, Landlord’s Management Company shall notify Tenant of Tenant’s failure to properly maintain the said landscaping, and Tenant shall have ten (10) calendar days to mow, trim, water or otherwise maintain the landscaping as needed. If Tenant fails to properly maintain the landscaping, then Landlord’s Management Company may retain the services of a professional yard maintenance company to perform all such needed landscaping, and Tenant shall pay the cost of all such yard maintenance and landscaping, plus a fifteen percent (15%) administration fee thereon in addition to the Total Monthly Payment; and E. Tenant and Landlord acknowledge and agree that for safety purposes, and to avoid injury, that neither Tenant nor Landlord should be charged with the duty of physically trimming and maintaining the trees located on the Property, and that in lieu of either Tenant or Landlord physically performing such work, that a professional tree-trimming company shall be utilized at all times for any such trimming and maintaining of trees as may be needed. Therefore, Tenant agrees that when either Tenant or Landlord determine that maintenance and trimming of any trees are needed on the Property, that it shall be Tenant’s responsibility to employ the professional services of a tree-trimming company to trim and maintain all trees on the Property. Tenant shall be exclusively responsible for all such expenses incurred in using a professional tree-trimming company. In the event that Landlord notifies Tenant of Landlord’s decision that tree maintenance and/or tree-trimming is necessary or needed, Tenant shall have thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of Landlord’s oral or written notice that tree-trimming is needed in which to employ a professional tree-trimming company and to trim all such trees as are then needed. In such event, Tenant shall pay all expenses incurred with the tree-trimming company. In the event Tenant fails to timely have the trees trimmed within the thirty (30) calendar day time period as stated above, Landlord shall have the right and option to employ a professional tree-trimming company for the purpose of trimming all trees on the Property as Landlord then deems necessary or needed. In such event, Tenant shall pay all expenses attributable to the tree-trimming company. If Landlord is required to pay the tree-trimming company, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all such expenses incurred and paid by Landlord, plus a fifteen percent (15%) administrative charge, all as set forth in paragraph 9 entitled “Maintenance and Repairs”. F. Keep the Property as safe, clean, and sanitary as the condition of the Property permits; and G. Landlord’s Management Company shall be responsible for eradicating any pest infestation reported by Tenant within the first seven (7) days of Tenant’s possession of the Property. Tenant’s failure to notify Landlord’s Management Company of any pest infestation within the said seven (7) days shall constitute Tenant’s agreement that the Property has or had no pest infestation of any kind. Thereafter, Tenant is solely responsible for treating all pest control and pest infestation, except for termite control. Landlord shall pay all expenses incurred for termite control; and H. Dispose from the Property all garbage, rubbish, trash and other waste in a safe, clean and sanitary manner; and I. Keep all plumbing fixtures, heat and air systems, ventilation systems, electrical systems, plumbing systems, water heaters, or otherwise, in or about the residence as clean and sanitary as their condition permits, and at all times keep and maintain the same in good operating and working order and condition; and J. Not deliberately or negligently destroy, deface, damage, impair, or remove any part of the Property or permit any person or animal to do so; and if any such event occurs, to immediately take all action as is necessary to effect all needed repairs, including cosmetic repairs to all such damaged portions of the Property; and K. Not engage in any conduct or allow any person or animal on the Property with the express or implied permission or consent of Tenant to engage in conduct that will disturb the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of the neighborhood of which the Property is a part; and L. Comply with all covenants regarding and concerning specified repairs to and maintenance of the Property to be performed by Tenant, as agreed by Tenant and Landlord in a conspicuous writing independent of this Agreement. 15. Smoking Prohibited. Smoking in the Property is not permitted. Should any smoke damage occur due to Tenant or Tenant’s visitors and/or invitees smoking within the Property, and Tenant does not purchase the Property, Tenant agrees to pay the cost of having the Property painted, walls washed, interior deodorized, air ducts and filters cleaned, carpets and draperies professionally cleaned, and any other cost to repair the smoke damage (collectively "Smoke Damage"). All expenses incurred by Landlord and/or its Management Company for Smoke Damage shall be paid by Tenant, plus a fifteen percent (15%) administrative charge thereon. If smoking occurs without prior written consent of Landlord's Management Company, such event may be considered an event of Default of this Agreement. 16. Pets. No animal, bird, or pet shall be kept on or about the Property without Landlord's prior written consent, except as follows: Under no circumstances shall Tenant have any vicious or dangerous pets or animals on the Property such as Pitt Bulls, American Bulldog, Rottweiler, etc. In every instance it shall be Landlord's sole discretion and judgment regarding whether or not any such pet or animal is considered to be vicious or dangerous. 17. Utilities. Tenant agrees to pay for all utilities and services based upon occupancy of the Property. Tenant shall be responsible for arranging initiation of utility services to the Property as of the Tenant's occupancy thereof and shall make all deposits required for commencement of such services. 18. Tenant's Insurance. Tenant may, at Tenant's option, purchase and maintain an insurance policy covering Tenant's personal property located upon the Property. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant's personal property is not insured by Landlord and Landlord shall in no way be held liable for damages or destruction of Tenant's personal property resulting from fire, theft, burglary, Acts of God, or any other acts or events beyond Landlord's control. Tenant expressly releases Landlord, Landlord's Management Company, and their respective owners, employees, agents, servants, representatives, or otherwise, from any and all liability for any damages or injury to Tenant, or any other person, or to any property, occurring on the premises unless such damage is the direct result of the gross negligence or unlawful act of Landlord or Landlord's Management Company. 19. Destruction. In the event the Property is damaged, partially destroyed or rendered partially unfit for its accustomed use by fire, tornado, or any other casualty to an extent that enjoyment of the Property is substantially impaired, unless the impairment is caused by the deliberate or negligent act or omission of Tenant, a member of Tenant's family, Tenant's animal or pet, or other person or animal on the Property with Tenant's consent (in which case Tenant shall remain liable for the entire Total Monthly Payment under this Agreement), Tenant may: (a) vacate the Property and notify Landlord in writing within thirty (30) days thereafter of Tenant's intention to terminate this Agreement, in which case this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of vacating; or (b) if continued occupancy is possible, vacate any part of the Property rendered unusable by fire or other casualty, in which case Tenant's liability for payment of the Monthly Rent Payments shall be reduced in proportion to the diminution in the fair rental value of the Property. If this Agreement is terminated under this Section, Landlord shall return the Deposit and all funds in Tenant’s TSA and all prepaid and unearned Base Rent to Tenant, PROVIDED THAT Landlord shall not be obligated to return the Option Fee under any circumstances or for any reason. Immediately upon the restoration of the Property to substantially the condition in which it was immediately prior to such casualty, the abatement of the Total Monthly Payment shall cease and the full Total Monthly Payment charged hereunder shall commence and be due and payable as otherwise provided herein. 20. Condemnation. If all or a substantial portion of the Property is taken or condemned for any public use or by right of eminent domain, or is transferred under threat of condemnation, the leasehold estate created hereby will terminate as of the date title rests in the condemnor or transferee. 21. Entry. Landlord will have the right upon reasonable advance notice and at reasonable times (or, in an emergency, at any hour) to enter the Property to inspect, repair, or preserve the Property as Landlord reasonably may deem necessary. 22. Landlord’s Transfer. In the event Landlord transfers Landlord's interest in the Property, Landlord will thereby be released from any further obligation hereunder and Tenant agrees to look solely and only to the transferee for the performance of such obligations. 23. Management Company. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has appointed QUEST PROPERTIES, LLC as Landlord’s duly-appointed agent and attorney-in-fact ("Management Company"), all with respect to management of the Property. Tenant shall at all times deal directly with QUEST PROPERTIES, LLC, regarding any and all matters involving the Property. Unless otherwise notified by Landlord, all Total Monthly Payments, Option Fee, or Purchase Price payable hereunder shall be paid directly to Landlord’s Management Company as follows: 1425 W Wynona Ave. Enid, Oklahoma, 73703 24. Default and Early Termination This Agreement, including Tenant’s Purchase Option and right to lease the Property, shall automatically terminate immediately upon the first occurrence of any of the following events: (1) Tenant vacates or abandons the Property; (2) Tenant fails to pay any Total Monthly Payments when due; (3) Tenant breaches any of the other terms of this Agreement; (4) Tenant fails to give Landlord timely written notice of Tenant’s notice to exercise the Purchase Option or election to extend this Agreement into the Secondary Term no less than ninety (90) calendar days prior to the expiration of the Primary Term of this Agreement; (5) Tenant fails to timely close the purchase of the Property prior to the expiration of the Primary Term AND Tenant elects not to extend this Agreement into the Secondary Term; (6) upon the written mutual agreement of the parties; or (7) withdrawal of any of the TSA funds on deposit in Landlord’s escrow account. Upon the first occurrence of any of the above events, (collectively referred to as "Default"), this Agreement, including Tenant’s right to lease the Property, and Tenant’s option to purchase the Property, shall both immediately and automatically terminate without any further action or notice by the Landlord, and Landlord shall be entitled to retain the Option Fee as and for Tenant’s failure to purchase the Property and as Landlord’s liquidated damages due to Tenant’s failure to purchase the Property; further, Landlord may accelerate the remaining unpaid Total Base Rent for whichever Term this Agreement was in immediately prior to such default and declare all such unpaid Total Base Rent to be due and payable in the entirety; and Landlord shall be entitled to retain all of Tenant’s TSA Contributions as may be necessary, which are on deposit with Landlord’s escrow account, as may be required to compensate and pay Landlord for Landlord’s damages, including but not limited to payment of Tenant’s accelerated and unpaid balance of the Total Base Rent for either the Primary Term or the Secondary Term, whichever is applicable. 25. Purchase Price. During either the Primary Term or the Secondary Term of this Agreement, Landlord grants Tenant an option to purchase the Property, subject to the terms and conditions provided for herein ("Purchase Option" or "Option"). If Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s Purchase Option at the completion of the Primary Term, then the purchase price of the Property shall be: Fifty Six Thousand Four Hundred & No/100 Dollars ($56,450.00) ("Primary Term Purchase Price") provided that Tenant may only exercise Tenant’s Purchase Option at the completion of the Primary Term. If Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s Purchase Option at any time during the Secondary Term, then the Purchase shall remain at: Fifty Six Thousand Four Hundred Fifty & No/100 Dollars ($56,450.00) ("Secondary Term Purchase Price"). For convenience purposes only, the Primary Term Purchase Price and/or the Secondary Term Purchase Price may generally be referred to herein as the "Purchase Price". The Purchase Price shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord at the Closing. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining Tenant’s own separate financing for the purchase of the Property. Landlord shall have no obligation to finance, "carry back", or accept a payout over time of all or any portion of the Purchase Price. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall not be given credit against the Purchase Price for any part or portion of any Monthly Rent Payments, Real Property Taxes or General Liability Insurance Payments that Tenant has paid or will pay to Landlord. 26. Non-Refundable Payment for Purchase Option. At the time of signing this Agreement, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord a non-refundable payment in the amount of Ten Thousand & No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) ("Option Fee") in consideration of the Landlord granting Tenant an option to purchase the Property during the Primary Term. If the Tenant elects to carry this Agreement into the Secondary Term, the Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord another non-refundable Option Fee in the amount of ____________ NA ________ Dollars ($____NA_____) in consideration of Landlord granting Tenant an option to purchase the Property during the Secondary Term. Tenant may use the Option Fee paid during the Primary Term as partial payment of the Option Fee required during the Secondary Term. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant is receiving good and valuable consideration in exchange for paying the non-refundable Option Fee because Landlord has agreed to sell the Property at a fixed price as provided herein during either the Primary Term or Secondary Term of this Agreement, regardless of how much the fair market value of the Property increases during the Term of this Agreement. Tenant expressly understands and agrees that the Option Fee is non-refundable, and is deemed earned by Landlord upon executing this Agreement, regardless of whether or not Tenant ever purchases the Property. If Tenant ultimately does not purchase the Property, Landlord shall be entitled to retain the Option Fee because Landlord will have waived the right to otherwise market and sell the Property to third parties during the Primary Term or the Secondary Term of this Agreement. Should the Tenant timely exercise Tenant’s Purchase Option and satisfy all the other terms and conditions provided for herein, at Closing the Option Fee will be applied as a credit against the Purchase Price. 27. Tenant’s Deadline for Giving Landlord Notice of Election to Purchase Property. During the Primary Term, Tenant must give Landlord written notice of Tenant’s election to exercise the Purchase Option or election to extend this Agreement into the Secondary Term no less than ninety (90) calendar days before the end of the Primary Term of this Agreement. If Tenant fails to give Landlord timely written notice during the Primary Term, then this Agreement, including Tenant’s Purchase Option, shall automatically expire without any further action or notice by Landlord. During the Secondary Term, Tenant must give Landlord written notice of Tenant’s election to exercise the Purchase Option no less than ninety (90) calendar days before they intend to purchase the property or the end of the Secondary Term of this Agreement. If Tenant fails to give Landlord timely written notice during the Secondary Term, then this Agreement, including Tenant’s Purchase Option, shall automatically expire without any further action or notice by Landlord required. 28. Deadline for Closing the Purchase. A. During the Primary Term, if Tenant delivers Tenant’s notice to purchase the Property to Landlord more than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Primary Term, then Tenant must close the purchase of the Property no later than sixty (60) calendar days after Tenant gives Landlord notice of Tenant’s decision to exercise Tenant’s Purchase Option, regardless of the expiration date of the Primary Term. If Tenant fails to timely close the purchase of the Property, then Tenant’s failure to close shall be treated as though Tenant never exercised the Purchase Option in the first instance. Tenant shall be responsible for, and shall reimburse and pay Landlord within thirty (30) calendar days for any and all costs incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s having previously given Tenant’s notice to Landlord regarding Tenant’s decision to exercise the Purchase Option. It shall be considered an event of Default if Tenant does not reimburse Landlord for the costs incurred by the Landlord in connection with Tenant’s decision to exercise the Purchase Option within thirty (30) calendar days, and Landlord shall be entitled to withdraw from Tenant’s TSA funds an amount sufficient to pay Landlord’s costs and expenses, including attorney fees. B. During the Secondary Term, if Tenant delivers Tenant’s notice to purchase the Property to Landlord more than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Secondary Term, then Tenant must close the purchase of the Property no later than sixty (60) calendar days after Tenant gives Landlord notice of Tenant’s decision to exercise Tenant’s Purchase Option as set forth herein, regardless of the expiration date of the Secondary Term set forth in this Agreement. If Tenant fails to timely close the purchase of the Property, then Tenant’s failure to close shall be treated as though Tenant never exercised the Purchase Option in the first instance. Tenant shall be responsible for, and shall reimburse and pay Landlord within thirty (30) calendar days for any and all costs incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant having previously given Tenant’s notice to Landlord regarding Tenant’s decision to exercise the Purchase Option. It shall be considered an event of Default if Tenant does not reimburse Landlord for the costs incurred by the Landlord in connection with Tenant’s decision to exercise the Purchase Option within thirty (30) calendar days, and Landlord shall be entitled to withdraw from Tenant’s TSA funds an amount sufficient to pay Landlord’s costs and expenses, including attorney fees. C. The last day Tenant is eligible to give timely notice to Landlord of Tenant’s decision to exercise the Purchase Option is sixty (60) calendar days prior to the expiration of the Term set forth herein. If Tenant attempts to give Landlord notice of Tenant’s election to exercise the Purchase Option as set forth herein, and such notice given by Tenant to Landlord is less than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the expiration of the Term stated herein, then Landlord, in Landlord’s sole, absolute and unappealable discretion, may (i) elect to permit Tenant to purchase the Property under the terms set forth herein, or (ii) elect to disregard Tenant’s notice to exercise the Purchase Option because of Tenant’s failure to provide Landlord with timely written notice of Tenant’s intent to exercise the Purchase Option. 29. Closing Costs. Tenant shall be solely responsible for paying any and all closing and financing costs associated with the Purchase Option, including but not limited to: costs associated with the delivery and examination of an updated abstract of title to the Property, costs incurred for the issuance of a title policy or attorney’s title opinion; costs associated with the filing fees and documentary stamps of any deed, all fees charged by the title/abstract company, and all costs associated with the Tenant’s financing of the Purchase Price. 30. Title. Tenant shall examine title to the Property, at Tenant’s own and sole expense, and notify Landlord of any objection or defect affecting the marketability of title to the Property no less than forty-five (45) days prior to Closing. All expenses for curing title, including but not limited to legal fees, discharge of liens and recording fees, will be paid solely by Tenant. It is specifically agreed and understood that NO equitable title in the Property has been created by this Agreement or the Purchase Option. Full title vests with Tenant only upon a successful Closing, Tenant’s payment of the Purchase Price to Landlord, and the execution and delivery of a Special Warranty Deed from Landlord to Tenant. The Property will be conveyed to Tenant subject to all rights of way, burdens, easements and restrictions of record. PROVIDED, if Tenant cannot, or elects to not, cure any title defects, then Landlord has the option of curing such title defects at Landlord’s cost. If Landlord cures all such title defects, then the Parties shall proceed to closing. If any title defects are not cured by either Tenant or Landlord, and if Landlord is unable to convey the Property to Tenant free and clear of title defects, then notwithstanding the Option Fee not otherwise being refundable, Landlord shall return the Option Fee to Tenant for the sole and only reason of Landlord’s inability to convey marketable title to Tenant free and clear of liens and mortgages, but subject to all rights of way, easements, burdens and other restrictions filed of record. The return of the Option Fee to Tenant by Landlord shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive option, remedy and calculation of damages that shall be available to Tenant due to Landlord’s inability to cure any such title defects. If Landlord cures all title defects, and Tenant does not timely close the purchase of the Property, then Tenant’s failure to close shall be considered a breach and Default by Tenant of this Agreement. 31. X Brokers Involved. The Parties acknowledge that Dean Lemons & Associates & New Millennium Realty Broker(s) are involved in this transaction and shall provide services as per the terms of the attached “Disclosure To Seller Or Buyer Of Brokerage Duties, Responsibilities And Services” unless certain provisions are deleted by mutual consent of the Parties or ___ No Brokers Involved. The Parties acknowledge that no real estate brokers, salesmen, agents, or otherwise, have been used in connection with the Option granting Tenant an option to purchase the Property. As such, if any third party ever asserts a claim for compensation as a real estate broker, salesman, or agent due to the purchase of the Property, then in such event, the party responsible for such claimant’s involvement shall be solely responsible for such commissions and/or compensation as may be due. 32. Special Warranty Deed. At the Closing, Landlord shall convey title to the Property to Tenant by Special Warranty Deed, wherein Landlord shall warrant to Tenant that the Property shall be free and clear of any mortgages, liens and encumbrances created by Landlord, but not otherwise. 33. Non-Assignability by Tenant; Assignable by Landlord. This Agreement is non-assignable by the Tenant without the prior written consent of the Landlord. Any attempted assignment without such prior written consent shall be considered null and void and of no effect; PROVIDED, that the Landlord may assign its rights in this Agreement, and any other documents executed contemporaneously herewith, to any third Party at any time, without having to first obtain the consent of the Tenant. 34. Severability. In the event that any part of this Agreement is construed as unenforceable, the remaining parts of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as though the unenforceable part or parts were not written into this Agreement. 35. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations, warranties and agreements of all Parties shall be true, correct and binding upon all Parties in all respects as of the date of Tenant’s closing the purchase of the Property, and all such representations, warranties and agreements shall survive Tenant’s closing the purchase of the Property. 36. Lien. All property of Tenant, in or upon the Property, which is not exempt under the Oklahoma Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, including all monies held by Landlord in Landlord’s escrow account pursuant to Tenant’s TSA Contributions, and Tenant’s security deposit, shall all be subject to a lien for payment of the Total Monthly Payments, including but not limited to all unpaid Total Base Rent that is still owing under either the Primary Term or the Secondary Term, as applicable, and for all damages arising from any Default by Tenant of any of the covenants herein. If a Default should occur, Landlord may take possession of the property of Tenant, or any part thereof, and sell it at public or private sale, with or without auction, to the highest bidder for cash, and apply the proceeds of the sale first toward the cost of sale and then toward such debt or damages, any remainder to be paid to Tenant. In the event it becomes necessary for Landlord to take legal action for the enforcement of any obligation imposed upon Tenant by this Agreement, Tenant will bear all of Landlord's costs and expenses of such action, including reasonable attorney fees. 37. Insolvency. In the event of an attempted assignment of this Agreement to creditors, or the institution of bankruptcy, trustee, or receivership proceedings involving Tenant, such events, or any of them, shall be considered an immediate event of Default by Tenant, and such event of Default shall immediately terminate, cancel and void this Agreement, and possession of the Property shall immediately pass to Landlord at Landlord's option, without notice to Tenant. If Landlord exercises Landlord's option to recover possession of the Property upon the occurrence of one of such Defaults, Landlord shall not be held to have waived Landlord's cause of action against Tenant for Tenant's failure to perform fully under the terms of this Agreement prior to such Default. 38. Termination. In the event that Tenant does not elect to purchase the Property and Tenant intends to vacate the Property, Landlord may show the Property to prospective lessees or purchasers at any reasonable hour and upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant during the last sixty (60) days of either the Primary Term or Secondary Term. This Agreement shall not be deemed renewed except upon written agreement to that effect. Tenant agrees that Tenant will, without notice, deliver possession of the Property to Landlord upon the expiration of the Lease Term. 39. Surrender. In the event that Tenant does not elect to purchase the Property and this Agreement is terminated, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Property together with all additions, alterations and improvements thereto, and the residence shall be broom clean and in clean and good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and insured casualty loss excepted.
