Spoke too soon. Just got an email from him saying his attorney would be contacting mine on Monday.
Wow, this is quite the horror story and it has so many twists and turns. Your updates are awesome and good luck to you TJ!

What if this whole thread turned out to be an April fool's joke?
ok so whats the deal now? the check cleared your account but the land lord is still stating he did not get rent for March and is now demanding to be paid?

Forward that email to your attorney. Say/write/do nothing to thedouchbagLL.
This. OP, you have an attorney. You have representation. Let him handle it and play the games. You should be able to sit back and get updates. Otherwise just lawnchair/popcorn/beer the situation.
I got in a bind once and I was constantly worried about it. My lawyer repeatedly told me this. "I am representing you. You don't need to do ANYTHING. I am you in this situation. Let me handle it."
He all but told me to chill the fuck out and let him do his job.
While I wouldn't respond to the contents I'd probably remind him to deal with your atty and provide the contact info again.Yep, I know. I just wanted to update the thread with the latest. I'm at work now so when I get home I'll give my attorney a call and update the situation.
Right now I am just collecting whatever information the LL wants to send me. I already told him I was done dealing with him. I'm not going to be tricked into sending him something that will get me in trouble.
A very telling statement, sounds to me that this landlord is living on the edge. A new roof, maybe, but a window?Update 4/3
This is the email I received from the LL today

I have been working with the first precinct in trying to recover the funds from march paycheck. Detective xxx has left you a message and asked that you call him back @ xxx. The oil check was sent yesterday.
Additionally I do not see anywhere in our contract that states you can place money in an escrow account if minor repairs that were existing when you rented the home are not fixed. It states you took the home as is and I have the right to fix damages or void the lease agreement.
I will fix the pool situation if you do not plan on opening it this year. Additionally I will seed the lawn when the weather gets warmer as it is a waste to do now with these cold temperatures. I do not have the funds to put a new window in at the current time.
This is not an issue as our contract states you inspected the home and rented it as is.

Agreed, which is making me more so suspicious that he and his wife are trying to pull a fast one with the rent check. I don't know what your lease says but I would ask your attorney if what the LL says is legal in your state.
