I just paid my last month’s rent as well. Called the landlord at the end of March, set up the pickup for the rent check and described how I wanted to use the security deposit as my last month as well, since I had “serious doubts” that they had the money to repay me when I moved out and the house was undamaged.
When she picked up the rent I asked her how the modifications were coming, and she said “we don’t qualify for anything”. Which is what you get for fraudulently claiming owner occupation on your mortgage ap.
So there you have it, I’m living here until the end of June, at which time I’m off to Maryland.
Going househunting next week, will probably post when I buy, but I suppose the Piggs may not care so much, as it’s not San Diego.
I think your plan is about the best that could be expected. It seems in these situations that very little is out there to protect the renters.
