houses dont sit long in my area. only to remodel and boom their sold. the old lady tours all the houses.
Not sure if this applies in all states, but word to the wise. If you find out your landlord is not paying the mortgage payment, you are still responsible for paying your rent. I know it's a fucked up situation but the landlord's agreement with the bank and your agreement with your landlord are two entirely different things. Landlord can take you to court for non-payment of rent and once an unlawful detainer is filed and awarded, your rental history is screwed. Last thing you want while you are trying to rent a new place is to have an eviction on your record. Follow the law and give your landlord a 30 day notice in writing and start the search for a new house. Advantages to you are there are lots of rentals available these days and most landlords are just looking to get someone in their property.
20+ years in Property Management, so I know a thing or two...............
Bunz
the title lord provides no protection from crazy neurotic fucks like me.
If had a land lord that didnt pay the mortgage and I was paying the rent and was about to get kicked out I would sue him/her/them for all previously payed rent, and stop paying rent. If they threatened to take me to court over it and ruin my rent history then I would straight up make sure no one ever saw them again, they sure as hell would not make there court date. just another missing person forever.
20+ years in being professionally evil towards people that attempt to fuck with me. so I know a thing or two..............
Not trying to fuck with anybody, just letting him know the laws. Once I know the owner isn't making his mortgage payments, I drop them so I don't have to get involved in situations like he's in.
I guess you missed the part where I said "I know it's a fucked up situation......"
Serving life over a rental though........................seriously??
Wtff bunz?
Evictions are a 3rd strike?
lol. I know, I was not referring to you or anyone specifically. I am just saying someone that is that much of a scum bag deserves what they get. think about it. You have been paying rent, but the landlord has been pocketing it vs. paying mortgage. Then he tells you that you are getting evicted, but you still have to keep paying him. Then he threatens you. sorry at any point I start getting threatened I eliminate the threat one way or another. Not in a gangsta way by any means, but I make sure they know that if I see their face again that I wont be so nice the next time. I'd make it clear to them Like Marcellus Wallace said to Butch. "you lost all your LA privileges. I better not see you are here again, you understand."
At that point, it's not over rent money. It's over ripping me off and blackmailing me. If I dont pay him then he ruins my credit making it impossible for me to legally find a home. therefore possibly making me homeless. If I pay him then I am still getting kicked out and have to start over. fuck em, they brought it on themselves at that point; and if they dont drop it they ever bother me again it wont matter if I'm in jail or credit ruined or whatever, because someone will find them for me.
If you are in Cali., exercise your squatters rights. Pay him nothing, and stay. He'll never get you out.
Lease is up for renewal as per original post. It expires, he might as well ride until tossed. Landlord is in default, tenancy is up in the air.If he's under a current lease, he doesn't have squatters rights.
I offer to do a host sale 2 years ago, after he asked me if I might be interested in buying the house. So I asked whats he asking, and he was under water and I would only go a short sale but it would hit his credit. He didn't want to do a short sale as he has 2 mortgages on the house and didn't want to take the hit. So at this point he can sink for all I care. The house is really to small for us and the two dogs, we're going to look at a place today. So we'll see how things float.

I wouldn't pay LL a dime - he's pulling the same deal w/ bank - no point in filling his pocket.
