what – you think he’s going to “sue” you???? tell him to PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE sue you. I’d get the records showing he is in default, not paying the mortgage, that YOU are going to be forced to move unexpectedly – then when he sues you (which I doubt he would) you take it all to court. before you get there, file your own countersuit agianst him for all your unexpected moving costs. unless you are living in some mansion, this will likely be in small claims anyway… so get estimates for a move, with a moving company, storage of stuff you can’t fit into a new house, rack up as much “cost” as you can..so when you present your case to the judge, and explain that you idiot LL is ripping YOU off by pocketing your RENT – so that you are going to have to MOVE and get KICKED out o the house before your lease is up – you can have your own set of “costs” to offset any rent he is “owed”.
if you are really close to the end of hte lease – maybe the amount you would “owe” him is so small he wouldn’t waste the time to sue you..
suing is not free. unless you are in some $10,000 month place and it’s big dollars – it’s more hassle to sue you than to just eat it.
