Josh, the owner is engaging in “rent skimming”. That’s illegal. I’m paying rent to ensure I have a place to live. So, why should I pay him if he’s not paying the lender?
I’m aware I can get evicted and don’t want to stay anyway. Because of the instability of my future in this property (as a direct result of his problems with his mother). Also because his mother has been rude to me and she appears manipulative. If her company (second mortgage holder) forecloses on this property, I have a gut feeling that she will evict me anyway.
As previously noted, the mother is still demanding money and has the gall to send me a letter stating her company’s not a property management company and will NOT do any repairs while the home is going through foreclosure.
I understand that you probably own rental property like most on here do so are probably empathetic towards the owner. But, put yourself in my position. I am concerned about my immediate future in this rental. This is not about taking advtantage of the owner.
It’s about me and my family’s well-being. I have kids to think about and if I have to move they will be abruptly uprooted. How would you like that to happen to your family, Josh?
