DHARMA, I don’t blame you

[HLS]

DHARMA,
I don’t blame you for not wanting to pay, and the late charge may become a moot point.

Perhaps you can get them to agree IN WRITING to whatever terms you want, just so you are covered…

The law is a funny things. Criminals sue victims and win.
Lawyers make money..

Here is a (crazy) list, state by state of how long a landlord has to return a security deposit or account for it.
Seems silly that it isn’t uniform..

Next, poke around here and see what you can determine for your situation…perhaps the expense of a book is worth it to you or maybe you can find one cheaper online.

For anyone in a similar situation, always get the most current editions, laws do change !

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS 😉

PS: Once a house IS foreclosed on, your “landlord” has some new problems if you have a lease with them..

See the “new foreclosure scam ?” in the current forum topics for details..
