  "summary": "An Ohio couple who moved into a friend's house in 2020 and spent $30,000 renovating its kitchen have lost their claim to purchase the property for $215,000. On Wednesday, an appeals court ruled that the renovations did not establish a binding purchase agreement. However, the couple may still receive compensation for the improvements, while the homeowners can pursue eviction proceedings.",
