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.
