I am a certified maintenance technician and skilled carpenter. I had as verbal agreement to restore a condemned , 2 story residential home (with detached garage) in exchange for Occupancy in lower level for duration of “ life”. Owner now faces foreclosure. I have invested $50,000 of my own money and two years worth of hard labor. The home was uninhabitable prior to our agreement. Owner has increased property value and enjoyed for two years . I have not been able to enjoy as promised due to owners continued breach of agreements for on going labor.
