Hi, thanks for the tips, although i couldn't understand all your comments completely.  Yes, my wife's a peasant, not an attorney or attorney's secretary but she does pretty well considering only half of a formal education.  It's too bad I hadn't videotaped the whole meeting or you could have seen the part where the tenant agreed in the first place.  Only after that did I write down the agreement we'd come to, which we were reading.

One person in the philventures group also suggested we should have made the written agreement one line at a time, as we were making the agreement, which makes sense.  Overall, though, this meeting had no hope because we never should have let the terms get turned around on us for us to be in this negotiation at all.  (You have to read parts I and II to understand that whole history - we'd originally negotiated better, but then when the land size was adjusted we had slipped up.)

But between the tenant going back on his word and the whole group of them making it into us-vs-them, I just lost any desire to live there as well.
