I have to agree with SD Realtor on leaving if possible. In the last house we were renting we were told the house was going on the market a month after we renewed the lease, after having been told when we first moved in the year before that the owners planned on holding it for their return, at least 5 years later. We dealt with almost a year of agents coming in at random times, calling with no warning (for example, from the curb in fron of the house), etc, before we were able to bail when the lease was up. We certainly had the impression that we were being blamed for the house not selling by the end even though we tried to be quite accomodating and always tried to keep the house in good condition. Of course, they ended up selling for 60K less than they started out asking.

I’m still annoyed at the “coincidental” timing of the decision to sell vs. our lease renewal and I’m concerned about the same thing happening where I’m renting now.
