Met with a JAG attorney today. Definitely worth the trip up to Ventura to do it. He reiterated much of what was stated in this thread, especially about the 60 day rent-free period which kicks in immediately after the trustee sale. He also said they can put considerable pressure on the lender to try to keep me in the place until I PCS in the summer (that’s permanent change of station for you non-military types). There is a new provision that states if I get foreclosed out from under me the Navy will pay for the move, which I think was mentioned somewhere above, but will still be a pain. Basically I have a negotiating point of contact with the full weight of the Navy behind him, which is a fairly good position to be in.
I called the landlord today to make arrangements to pick up this month’s check, but they didn’t call me back yet. I imagine they need this money pretty badly, unless they have decided to walk away.
