Land Contract.
Contract, by and between _________("Vendor," whether one or more) and _________("Purchaser," whether
one or more). Vendor sells and agrees to convey to Purchaser, upon the prompt and full performance of this contract
by Purchaser, the following property, together with the rents, profits, fixtures and other appurtenant interests (all
called the "Property"), in _________ County, State of _____________:
Tax Parcel No. _________
This is (is not) homestead property.
Purchaser agrees to purchase the Property and to pay to Vendor at _________, the sum of $_____ in the
following manner: (a) $_____ at the execution of this Contract; and (b) the balance of $_____, together with interest
from date hereof on the balance outstanding from time to time at the rate of _____% per year until paid in full, as
follows:
Provided, however, the entire outstanding balance shall be paid in full on or before _________[date]
_________(the maturity date).
Following any default in payment, interest shall accrue at the rate of _____% per year on the entire amount in
default (which shall include, without limitation, delinquent interest and, upon acceleration or maturity, the entire
principal balance).
Purchaser, unless excused by Vendor, agrees to pay monthly to Vendor amounts sufficient to pay reasonably
anticipated annual taxes, special assessments, fire and required insurance premiums when due. To the extent received
by Vendor, Vendor agrees to apply payments to these obligations when due. Such amounts received by the Vendor
for payment of taxes, assessments and insurance will be deposited into an escrow fund or trustee account, but shall
not bear interest unless otherwise required by law.
Payments shall be applied first to interest on the unpaid balance at the rate specified and then to principal. Any
amount may be prepaid without premium or fee upon principal at any time after _________[date] [or: There may be
no prepayment of principal without permission of Vendor].
In the event of any prepayment, this contract shall not be treated as in default with respect to payment so long as
the unpaid balance of principal, and interest (and in such case accruing interest from month to month shall be treated
as unpaid principal) is less than the amount that said indebtedness would have been had the monthly payments been
made as first specified above; provided that monthly payments shall be continued in the event of credit of any
proceeds of insurance or condemnation, the condemned premises being thereafter excluded from this Contract.
Purchaser states that Purchaser is satisfied with the title as shown by the title evidence submitted to Purchaser
for examination except: _________.
Purchaser agrees to pay the cost of future title evidence. If title evidence is in the form of an abstract, it shall be
retained by Vendor until the full purchase price is paid.
Purchaser shall be entitle to take possession of the Property on _________[date].
Purchaser promises to pay when due all taxes and assessments levied on the Property or upon Vendor's interest
in it and to deliver to Vendor on demand receipts showing such payment.
Purchaser shall keep the improvements on the Property insured against loss or damage occasioned by fire,
extended coverage perils and such other hazards as Vendor may require, without co-insurance, through insurers
approved by Vendor, in the sum of $_____, but Vendor shall not require coverage in an amount more than the
balance owed under this Contract. Purchaser shall pay the insurance premiums when due. The policies shall contain
the standard clause in favor of the Vendor's interest and, unless Vendor otherwise agrees in writing, the original of all
policies covering the Property shall be deposited with Vendor. Purchaser shall promptly give notice of loss to
insurance companies and Vendor. Unless Purchaser and Vendor otherwise agree in writing, insurance proceeds shall
be applied to restoration or repair of the Property damaged, provided the Vendor deems the restoration or repair to be
economically feasible.
Purchaser covenants not to commit waste nor allow waste to be committed on the Property, to keep the Property
in good tenantable condition and repair, to keep the Property free from liens superior to the lien of this Contract, and
to comply with all laws, ordinances and regulations affecting the Property.
Vendor agrees that in case the purchase price with interest and other moneys shall be fully paid and all conditions
shall be fully performed at the times and in the manner above specified, Vendor will on demand, execute and deliver to
the Purchaser, a Warranty Deed, in fee simple, of the Property, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, except
any liens or encumbrances created by the act or default of Purchaser, and except: _________.
