[quote=The OC Scam]When the banks sends a real estate agent to your door offering you money in return for the house keys.
Ask the real estate agent to ask the bank to provide proof that they actually own the house. Most banks have loss or thrown away records. This should give you another 8 months rent free or a larger counter offer “cash for keys”!
This is not legal advice but unethical persuasion. I love this country. Everyday it just keeps getting better!

“Ask the real estate agent to ask the bank to provide proof that they actually own the house.” This approach will not work for renters. This approach will not work for many home owners unless their profession is relating to law. Banks can prove pretty easily that owner owe the money. They do not need original signed papers to prove. Basically bank or lender will get eviction notice from court by submitting documents that you defaulted on loan you borrowed. You can appeal eviction notice, but it involves an attorney and needs lot of money.
“TENANT’S RIGHTS AGAINST FORMER LANDLORD
Be sure to tell the former Landlord/owner that you expect the refund of your security deposit, less any rent you may still owe them. If you were forced out during a lease, you may have a valuable claim for the landlord’s breach of that lease along with fraud if they intended to lose the property but concealed that from you when you signed the lease.”
