Would suggest you send a registered letter asap or you might loose your deposit for abandonment. It it is courteous about the situation you shouldn't piss him off but if he is running a game on you and trying to keep your money rented the property to a higher bidder you at least have a claim in small claims court. Sorry to be so cynical but seen young people get ripped off this way before many times.

Very good advice. I hadn't thought about it from that particular angle.

Good suggestion JustAGuy. We wouldnt wanna 'pester' him by ne means, if thats what hes dealing with, God forbit, but we cant think of ne thing else it COULD be, so thanks. Youre the best.

I appreciate your concern, but how can it be abandonment if we were never in it and he hasnt been back to finish business with us? We're still waiting to hear from him on when we can pay the rest of the money so we can get the keys. I thank you again for looking out for me. Hope to hear back frm ya.

If he took money from you on the deal he has some kind of contract with you and he has to produce the apartment or give your money back if you have not defaulted on an agreement such as paying the balance by a certain time. Some shady landlords purposefully become unavailable so they think they can keep deposits but if you in good faith tried to get in contact with him and he blew you off, regardless of the reason, he has to give your money back. Copy and paste this conversation for proof in court. Unfortuneately if you do not have cell phone records that you attempted to call him you might be out of luck. Always do business with landlords in WRITING. Very definitly a dog eat dog word for renters in todays market. WARNING a lot of people are renting forclosed properties. DO NOT rent any property with out checking out if the owner is infact the owner. If you get ripped off go to the cops immediately.

Well we havent had a chance to meet back with him since he hasnt called us, so we didnt violate anything on our end, but the other night, that thought DID cross my mind for a moment, cause I was trying to figure out what was going on, asking why havent we heard anything, but then I was like no, dont think that way, cause why would someone lie about their family being in an accident like that, jinxing themselves, so I stopped. I asked my guy the next day about it and what he thought, but he said why would he do that? Hes the one who met with the lndlrd and had all the interaction with him, but now that youre the 2nd person who thought that besides me, Im starting to wonder again. All my b/f has is a cell phone, so hopefully he can get his call logs if nec. Any receipts would help too Im sure. If he doesnt have any, BIG, HUGE red flag, but hes not stupid. Hed get em. My b/f said the lndlrd probably didnt take his number with him when he went, which is understandable considering what supposively happened. I wouldnt be thinking of bringing a future tenants number with me either cause of the situation. He wouldnt let us move in w/o the last $100 either, even since we had it the next day and he had noone else able to take our money fri. What if youre right tho?

Wow, quiet night

Big time. Looks like some people actually have lives....lmao

Either that, or after 20 pages, they are all out of questions....lmfao

So you think that lndlrd is scammin us? I really am hoping thats not the case. I mean, that would be really messed up you know? Im thinking even if he had to deal with funrl arrgs, they wouldve been done by now, but I honestly dont know wat to think.

I really couldn't say whether he is or not. It sounds like he might be, but I can't be sure.

You know, I think Im gonna have my guy drive by there and see if he can tell if someone moved in there or not. Ill tell him also, if he hasnt yet, to try the lndlrd one last time. What do u think?

Man where IS everyone tonight? This is creepy

Did u overlook this question? I know u have so many to answer tonight

Sorry. Doing a couple of other things on the computer....lol

Actually, that might be a pretty good idea. At least check to see if someone else has moved in. I think calling once more would be a good idea as well.

Cool. I think I may even have him go to the door if hes able to, or ring the bell or something if nec, to see if ne 1 answers. Thanks for the
input . Ill keep ya posted

Get ur peeps back. I hope I didnt scare ne 1 away lol

Definitely keep us posted on what happens.

Oh I will

Will this drunk ever get off the bus?

Not until you do. :-)

Besides. I'm not drunk.

No, I got off first....besides you're much better looking.

I have another for you. Ready?

Will my babies ever forgive me for the bath they just received?
