"Too late, baby, now it's too late" with one exception: A lot of contracts have a 72 hour change-your-mind. Check your local laws to find out if leasing a house falls under this exception.

It is not too late at all. Simply inform the person that "apparently now you're forcing us to gain legal counsel".... Just say it in passing conversation and then thank them for their time and tell them you will talk to them later in the week as you are waiting for a call back from your attorney. Make sure you use the words "call back from YOUR attorney" ... this will make it appear that you've not only already contacted someone, but that you have established a relationship with them. What will happen is they will more than likely call you back later or the next day and make some sort of deal with you. Besides, if this little trick doesn't work you CAN still get out of it..... good luck and let me know, Jack

Consult with a local real estate attorney. Maybe if you have documentation of the rent to own, that might help you.

If they have a copy of it, its a contract. Whatever you signed is what you agreed-- so you should have noticed THEN that it was rent and not rent to own.
Notary, FYI, only verifies identity. It DOES NOT make anything "official" or "binding".

The devil is in the details. Always read and understand all paperwork before you sign anything. To late now.

You should have read the contract and raised your objections BEFORE signing it! It's too late now!
