INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Carefully read the contract and determine whether all of elements required under state law are present in the contract. If a seller fails to include a required element, in some states buyers may have the option to terminate the contract. The clause will contain instructions for rescinding the contract and state the time in which you have to do so. If still within the time specified by the clause, follow the instructions provided in the contract on how to rescind the contract. States may have specific rules about how to rescind a contract, which may include providing written notice. If you contract has a rescission clause, you will be required to provide written notice of your decision to rescind. This written documentation may include a signed rescission form, previously provided to you or a simple letter stating that you are rescinding the contract. You may also be required to provide the following information:  The name, address, and phone number of the seller or his or her attorney. A description of the contract for deed, including the names of the parties. A description of the property. A statement of rescission, including when the contract will be rescinded and the basis for the rescission. A list of all payments made under the contract. If your contract does not contain a rescission clause, review your state’s statutes to see if a rescission period may apply. Some state and federal laws require that certain contracts allow for rescission within a specific period, usually three (3) to ten (10) days after entering into the contract. There are limited circumstances, under which a party can terminate a contract. These remedies are not specific to contracts for deed, however some states allow general contract remedies to apply to contracts for deed. A buyer may be able to terminate a contract for deed for the following reasons:   Fraud and misrepresentation. You may be able to cancel the contract if you can show that the seller lied about the condition of the property, and that lie induced you to enter into the contract.  Breach of contract by the other party. If one party knowingly fails to comply with the terms of the contract, the other party may terminate the contract. A breaching party has no right to complain that the other has ended the contract, which he or she breached.   Impossibility. If a party to a contract is unable to perform his or her obligations due to the impossibility of such performance, he or she may have a legal right to terminate the contract. The reason for the impossibility of performance must not be the fault of the party who finds it impossible to perform. It must be either the fault of the other party or the result of an “act of God” or act of nature, such as a hurricane or tornado.  For example, if a tornado damages the property beyond repair before you have take possession of it, you may be able to legally cancel the contract for the deed.   Failure to hold unencumbered title. If a seller has an improper lien, mortgage or other encumbrance on the property, some states do not allow a seller to execute a contract for deed on the property. You should check your state laws to see whether it prohibits an encumbered property from being the subject of contract for deed. If it does, you should run a title check on the property in question to see whether there are any liens on the property. If so, you may have a legal basis to terminate the contract.

SUMMARY: Determine whether the contract meets minimum state requirements. Review the contract for a rescission or cancellation clause. Provide written notice. Determine if you have any legal right to terminate the contract.

This will increase the overall shininess and sleekness of your cat’s coat.  Brushing your cat frequently will also reduce the amount of fur that it swallows when grooming itself, thus reducing the number of hairballs it produces. Begin grooming your cat at a young age so that it will get accustomed to it.  Professional cat-grooming services may also be available in your area. Prices for these services can vary widely. Long-haired varieties of cats will need more frequent brushing than short-haired varieties. Long-haired cats will need to be brushed once every few days, while short-haired cats may only need grooming once a week. Other experts suggest brushing long-haired cats for at least 15 minutes per day. To brush your cat well, you will need a quality general brush, a steel comb, and a rubber or bristle brush. All of these should be versions designed specifically for cats. Optionally, a fine chamois or washcloth can be used to wipe your cat after brushing. This will remove any remaining hairs and improve the shine of your cat’s coat. Starting with the general brush, stroke your cat’s fur softly, working from head to tail. Next, use the steel comb the same way. This will help remove any dirt and debris. Finally, use a bristle or rubber brush, which will remove any loose hairs.  If your cat’s fur has any tangles, carefully work those out before brushing its whole coat. If you wish, wipe your cat with a chamois or washcloth after brushing to maximize the shine of its coat.  Make sure to be gentle on your cat’s sensitive areas, such as its belly. To brush the tail of a long-haired cat, make a part down the middle and brush fur to either side.
