My landlord really wants to keep me as a tenant. We’re working on a deal now, where he installs A/C, and bumps up the rent. Amount to be determined. I’m even going to start automatic rent payment into his checking account. So from what you say, that gives me leverage? I don’t know if this area is highly desireable…it is to us.
What happened last time to those foreclosed on? Did they leave the area? If they have jobs, they can stay. Yet, they need $4K – $5K cash to pay deposit and 1st months rent. Not everyone has that much cash laying around, esp. those in foreclosure.
