SD Realtor, here is my mindset: First, I am in no position to be a squatter and own this home. I don’t have the downpayment or the income needed right now. I would not buy it even if I was in such a position because I do not like the layout, there aren’t enough rooms or bathrooms(3 bed, 2 ba). In addition, there are zero upgrades to the house: cheap linoleum on the floors, tile on the kitchen countertops, cheap fixtures, cheap carpet. The master bath doesn’t even have a bathtub (shower only).
I am reluctant to leave because my youngest son has established friendships here, and likes the school. If I leave this house, I leave the neighborhood because I only like to rent and buy new homes/apartments. There is nothing new in this neighborhood.
I was going to move eventually because of the above and the fact that the neighbors are trash. Recently the next door neighbor’s grown, unemployed son was in his garage playing with a dog and certain facial expressions made him look more animal than the animal itself (serious).
I cannot find any new homes on craigslist for what I pay here. I pay $1400 per month.
So, I will have to uproot my boys and they will have to get used to a new environment if I move. Also, we will have to live in an apartment and not a house for the time being (a year at least) until I can get something else. I’m looking into options given to me by Raybyrnes and I will be able to get into a single family home or condo in a year to two years regardless if the prices keep dropping.
Bottomline: My son is what I’m worried about. I hate uprooting the kids again. It’s bothering me alot.
If I knew the owner would prevail against the mother, I could stay here longer for my child. But, I do NOT want to rent from that woman. Knowing her nature by way of conversation, she would probably evict me and I’m sure raise the rent to at least $1500.
Guilt (my son) is driving me here.

November 3, 2007 at 10:50 PM #95256AnonymousGuestI guess I need to make a decision and make one fast.
For those of you who own your own homes, you’re lucky.
I don’t trust anything the owner says, and I don’t trust anything his mother says. I am trying to think about my son. I’m not in a good place right now.

November 3, 2007 at 10:53 PM #95260barnaby33ParticipantMarion, I own nothing. I rent in Northpark and have never owned a property in my life. I have also never, ever, defaulted on a debt. There are too many people using situations, like yours, to avoid their own responsibility. For each month you live there, you pay rent to the person you signed a deal with. When and if the courts determine that has changed, then you deal with that situation. No amount of threatening or insulting phone calls/letters changes that. If the situation is that bad, move out. If not keep paying rent to the person you signed a lease with.
Sure, there are always reasons why to you it sounds reasonable to not pay. They aren’t reasonable. You asked for opinions, I gave you mine. I have no vested interest in whether you pay, except my belief in following through on obligations. As long as you live there, you owe rent.
Your whole argument rests on the case that because other people are abrogating their agreements, you should be able to abrogate yours. hmmmm, that doesn’t sound right, reasonable, or mature.

November 3, 2007 at 11:11 PM #95263AnonymousGuestOk, I’ll pay him. My son is what I’m thinking about and I’d like to know if the owner will eventually get the property so I can have a reasonable basis for a decision on whether to stay or go.
Not only that, but I’m sure you all know that if the house does forclose 3 months from now, I’m throwing away my money.
Ok, Josh…You talk about reasonable and mature. How about practical? It’s not practical to throw away money on a house going into foreclosure. That’s the exact reason the broker told me to FRIG IT and don’t pay the owner another dime.
I’d be interested in seeing how “moral and reasonable” you can be knowing you have to tell your child you have to move.
