District of Columbia Case Law
Williams v. Dudley Trust Foundation, 675 A.2d 45 (D.C. 1996); While the purchaser under an installment land contract is entitled to immediate possession of the property, title is retained by the seller, usually until the full purchase price has been paid. The purchase price is paid in installments. The purchaser usually assumes responsibility for property upkeep, payment of taxes and insurance. Typically such contracts contain a forfeiture or default provision under which the seller may regain possession of the property and keep all monies paid to the date of default. The purchaser is regarded as the equitable owner of the property.

District of Columbia Case Law
Williams v. Dudley Trust Foundation, 675 A.2d 45 (D.C. 1996); While the purchaser under an installment land contract is entitled to immediate possession of the property, title is retained by the seller, usually until the full purchase price has been paid. The purchase price is paid in installments. The purchaser usually assumes responsibility for property upkeep, payment of taxes and insurance. Typically such contracts contain a forfeiture or default provision under which the seller may regain possession of the property and keep all monies paid to the date of default. The purchaser is regarded as the equitable owner of the property.
