As for the Realtor fees depending on where you live thats pretty much the only way you get a apartment. i was shocked when i lived in NY that i had to use one if i wanted a one. So you add up first,last security +realtor fees? fuck thats insane amount of money.

For the landlord it makes no sense not to go through a realtor. It doesn't cost the LL anything. The renter is responsible for the fee. The LL gets all of the possible renters pre screened whether or not they are quality people is another question.

Anyways, it cost me right around $10k to move into this place.

You can try to find a place on CL but most of those places are dumps

not for a mold issue. that is one of the things you can get out of fast. its such a health issue that for kids it can be very bad.

also with all the BS the LL has TJ will have no issue breaking the lease once he finds a place.

The fool and his money...

It's all about knowing where to look. I never paid a realtor fee. I laughed at this boutique realtor shop who wanted 15% of the year's rent. That came out to $3000 for NOTHING.

LOL, I laughed at their face and got out. They also fed me tired old bullshit line about 'we have all listings here, don't go elsewhere' just like car salesmen talking about 'we have all inventory of all dealerships'.

1 week later we found a nice in downtown that was just renovated. The LL paid for the agent's fee since it's been vacant due to renovation.

That was 1.5 yrs ago. We moved again to Jersey City right across from Hudson. No agent fee. This place fucking rocks and cheaper than our previous place

The officer asked if I could fill out the affidavit so that he could find out exactly who cashed the check.

I don't know how the detective can tell you to do that if in fact you would be saying something that is a lie. Also, why is it they can't find out this info without you signing an affidavit?

The officer wants an affidavit of what Tango knows.

This is different from what the affidavit the LL was suggesting to Tango. The LL request had information that Tango couldn't verify. The affidavit the police are requesting are to verify what Tango can verify.

Wait, you said you currently have a condo, and if it came down to it you'd move back there? Go there. Now. You say your kids are still having health issues that are likely connected to the mold issue not being properly handled/cleaned. Take care of your family first and foremost (I'm not calling you a bad husband/Dad, I understand this is a frustrating situation).

My wife and I purchased a condo back in 2006 since then we outgrew it. We now have 2 kids and looked to sell it. Thanks to the housing bubble burst we weren't able to sell our home and did not want to do a short sale or just walk away and have it go into foreclosure.

We decided to rent the condo out and in the mean time look for a place to rent ourselves.

Prob can't move in if somebody else has a lease.

Here is how the detective explained it to me. The detective spoke with the bank manager and apparently citibank has only one form to deal with any type of forgery or money that ends up in someone else's account. This standard form then gets submitted by the bank under whatever subcategory. They both assured me that it was not going to be submitted as a forgery but rather something different.

I went to the bank today with the form filled out but the manager had left for the day. I said I would try again tomorrow but after that I was going to be out of town on vacation.


Yes, our condo is being leased out to someone. Her lease expires June 30. I had spoken with her last month about renewing the lease for another year but asked to hold off. I didn't go into specifics but I am holding off on it because worst case scenario is that we go back to it. The condo is just too small for 4 people. Its a 700 square foot, 2 bedroom upstairs home. The kids are big enough now (3 years, 7 months) that they usually go to sleep and wake up at the same time that we can probably squeeze them into the same room. Its not an ideal situation but if we are forced we can go back.

If that scenario presents itself we will run into some problems. I don't know legally if we can just kick her out even if her lease has expired. If that is true then we will be out on the street. We also will lose a good tenant and then run the risk of getting some crappy tenants in to replace her later on.

Happens all the time.

Bullshit. You lucked out with the BM not being there to give you more time. I wouldn't sign anything like that. If you want, you can have the BM scratch out the untrue parts of the form (and initial the changes) and write what it is really for. Of course, get a copy for yourself. And what judge wouldn't understand that you didn't want to sign an untrue statement in any kind of legal proceedings???

If kids are same sex, you can easily bunk them together until teens. I have grandkids of opposite sexes that have shared up to 10-12. One set had girl older. Other was the boy.

Biggest problem is getting the younger to respect the older one space

Got a nice update from the LL just now:

TJ before I begin, I need to ask an obvious question.

Seeing as though you are so unhappy with your living situation, and we are equally as unhappy having you living in our house, shall we just come to an agreement to end this lease early. I see no possible way that I can appease you on your many issues, so I believe it makes sense to all move on with our lives. We can discuss what time frame would be suitable for all of us.

Otherwise.....A pool person will be at the house tomorrow or Friday early to address to pool cover situation. Seed will be addressed in the next 10 days, because I told you I would do it. Going forward I will continue to obey our lease agreement as it is written and signed.

I have asked for your attorneys contact information so my lawyer can reach out to him regarding these matters, I have still not received such information.

My attempts in communicating with you over the past several weeks have been ignored, making it difficult to resolve these matters.

Let me know how you would like to proceed after you read this.

I guess he didn't see the attorney's business card in the certified letter I had sent him or he doesn't want to get the attorneys involved. I still haven't been able to get ahold of my attorney either to talk about the issues at hand.

Now, the obvious answer to the question is sure, we would move out today if he wanted to pay back the security deposit, april rent, oil in the tank, moving expenses and realtor fee. We are talking in the range of $11,000. I could offer him to live "rent free" for the next 4 months if he didn't want to pay out that large amount of money. However, I don't know if we want to be in the home that long.

We may find the house we are looking to buy tomorrow so that would mean I want most of that cash upfront because the most we would possibly need is 2 months. Anyways, I don't want to give him options nor do I want to give him any of my family plans.

Even though we are extremely unhappy with how this renting situation has played out from the beginning to now doesn't mean we are going to be forced out. He created these situations so we should be the ones calling the shots, not him.

Ignore this too, and let your lawyer reply. He can't kick you out.

When was he unhappy with you before all of this? It's now because he lost your rent check, hassled you, and you aren't rolling over that he's 'unhappy' with you living there?

I'd make your pitch to the lawyer about moving out early and getting all of that money back as it might change the LL's tune.

Sounds like he is getting worried, so he is trying to get rid of you. He is probably lying about contacting the lawyer.

That's the problem with liars. You can never tell when they are telling the truth.

I don't know why you can't just say you will move out when he repays for the oil.

You are kidding yourself if you think he is going to give you security deposit and rent money back, plus pay for moving expenses are realtor fees. No one would give you that, not even in court.

You need to figure out what you want. Do you want out, or do you want him to fix everything?

Like I said earlier, get out of there already. In the time you have spent dealing with this, you could have found something. Judging by the pics of the house when you moved in, you don't seem to be very picky.

I think your demands are delusional at best. So now you have gone from *wink wink* guys "I really don't want to move"...to trying to fast track it.

I don't understand your statement. LLs don't get to keep a security deposit. The deposit is in place for damages caused to the home by the tenants. Its not a bonus check or in this case the lease didn't work out so its ok to keep.

In most rental cases the LL/tenant are able to work it out so that the deposit is used for the last month's rent pending inspection of the premises. If he wanted us out today then we would be owed the security deposit plus April's rent. I'm guessing he would be more inclined to waiting until the end of the month so that he wouldn't have to pay that back.

As for the realtor fee, I don't see why I shouldn't be refunded at least some portion of that fee. If we don't move into a property such as an apartment managed by a company there is going to be another realtor fee that we are going to have to pay. Same would go for moving expenses. We do not have money to pay to move out 9 months after moving in. I also don't have enough vacation time from work to schedule a move at the LL's request.

Like I said earlier, he doesn't get the option to call the shots.

he WILL get the Security deposit back and yes a judge will give that. HE also has a good chance at moving expenses.


there is zero reason for the LL to hold the Security deposit +interest (most states say the LL has to put it in a savings account)
