I need advice on rent skimming landlord

[La Jolla Renter]

The odds of you buying the house at fair market value now, are slim to none. If you have cash, you can maybe pick it up at auction… a long shot.

The most prudent move for you is to look for a better rental deal while time is on your side. When you find it, give your thirty day notice on your current place and state: that because the house is in foreclosure you will use your deposit as last months rent etc.

If you can afford to buy the house now, why would you want to pay fair market value for it? You could probably buy a nicer house in the neighborhood for less than fair market value.

The landlord is not rent skimming. He legally owns it until he is foreclosed on at the courthouse. There are landlords in San Diego that have multiple properties in foreclosure that are doing the same thing. My former landlord is one of them. Bad Karma… YES! Illegal… no.

Yeah, it’s still your LL property. Their behavior is not kosher, but not illegal either.
Start looking for another place and let the lender know of this situation. They may have some good advice. And they may give your LL a little heat. Karma’s a beootch.

Your children will find stability in solid parents, not a house. Also – how do you expect to maintain stability with such a landlord ? Lastly – do you really think this idiot who is upside down is going to honor his obligation to sell you the house? And you have to go through a short sale process? What a mess.

Seeking stability around a flake is just not wise.
Find stability elsewhere.

Get out, get away. Break the lease. If he says he’ll sue, tell him you’ll call the bank and tell them he has been cashing rent checks.

One other thing – a little instability is good for the kids. It teaches them to be flexible. Likely, they will deal with the instability better than their parents.

You could also tell him you’ll pay the rent three days early if he brings a new month-to-month rental agreement.
