Eviction on Contract for deed
We entered into a contract for deed on a double wide and lot. We had 24 mo to get a loan through a bank. The contract states that if we show good faith effort and are still unable to get a loan that the contract will be continued for 24 mo. We have not gotten a bank loan. A new contract has not been sent to us and the time is nearing that the additional 24 mo will be over. We are in breech of contract in a couple of different areas. I know that legally he can evict us. And I believe it is getting close to that point. My question is, if he does evict us does that mean that everything in that contract is null and void? Can he come back on us for damages to the house or for the remainder of what we owe if we are evicted?

    Yes. Upon eviction, the landlord may bring a suit for damages for back rent and any physical damage made on the premises. Usually the security deposit would cover for any physical damage. Although you are evicted, you are still obligated to your peformance under the contract.
