I lived in a rental house for 2 years while buiding my house. When I moved in September 2005, the landlord kept my deposit. I sued, and won. She appealed, and lost. Now I filed a rent lien, so her tenant has to send the next rent payment to the courts.
There are hassles with renting, same as with owning. I once bought a house which leaked in 8 places in the first rain. The inspector had not gone up on the roof. We had to replace the entire roof.
Please keep in mind the lawyer. He answers a rental advice column in the Sunday paper. It’s the front page of one of the Home sections.
