Just another example of how times have changed. Renters checking out their Landlords credit who would have thought? I chose to lease through an established rental company that was able to confirm that the lessor a)owned the house and b)at the time of the lease was not in default. Still I feel like I’m living in a time bomb because I also learned through my realtor that my owner was upside down over 100k and had mortgage payments 2k a month more than I would be paying in rent. Nothing taped on the door yet….
