I plan on using the settlement co/lawyer that my private lender recommends.

Another method is to use the State Bar's Lawyer Referral Service.

And before anyone asks, yes, my lawyer reviewed my contract as-is and made some good suggestions about things to add/subtract (I pieced it together myself a couple of years ago and finally decided to have an attorney review it) but then I realized it doesn't even contain the word "Eviction" so I figured I'd get your input.

not a lawyer,  so just my . 02 so take this with grain of salt.Minors can not enter a valid contract.  

Also a lawyer would probably be the best choice for someone to review through any paperwork as we are not professionals in that area, but we can provide guidance and advice.

I talked to a lawyer that gave back 2 out of 3 she had bought in order to get an extension on the one she wanted to keep.

When raising rents, you can request additional funds to have your last month match up but you are not  allowed to request more for the security deposit (stays at original amount "forever").I am not a lawyer, but I hear you can submit a full letter (whatever its called) to fully terminate the lease and then you can restart a whole new lease having both the security and last month to match up...but its hearsay.Also, if you do increase last month, do you need to provide another letter stating the increase in the escrow account? 

To find an attorney, consider using your state's lawyer referral service.

As one contract lawyer pointed out, "If the seller now claimed in the litigation that the house wasn't haunted, the seller would have been caught in a $3,000 lie to Reader's Digest."

Or something to that effect written by an actual lawyer.
