I need advice on rent skimming landlord

[jonnycsd]

What “games” are you worried the LL is going to play? If you want to rent then pay your rent. If you want to buy then go buy. At the very least you should admit to yourself that you are looking for an angle (AKA “game”) to play yourself. “Oh, but its for the children.” That is BS.

This same scenario came up before except the renter did not have the money to pay the rent and then justified not paying rent because the landlord was rent skimming.

I don’t see how the relationship between the bank and the landlord have anything to do with the relationship between landlord and the tenant. You contracted for a place to live and you have a place to live.

Now if you have a down payment and feel that you could potentially lose that, you might mitigate that loss by withholding a month payment. I guess I am with jonnycsd. Seems that all you want is a cut of the action at the banks expense.

If you are going to set up a trust and are willing to turn the rent over to the bank then I will ammend my statement.

I am just going to throw this out here, but you could sublet it.

Maybe that’s evil but it could be funny.

Kind of like Dick Cheney.

Thank you for all your comments.

The rent was deposited into a attorney trust account today (yes sat of a holiday weekend.. Very nice attorney). We hired the attorney to protect future rent from loss should the property foreclose and we need to move. At this point we have elected to not sue for damages from his rent skimming because we have not been forced out.

As I stated before we have the legal obliation to pay him but at the same time he has the legal obligation to provide the domicile for the full legnth of the contract. Since that is in jeopardy the best thing was to “escrow” the money since we ar enot ready to move yet.

He will receive it if he should cure the loan (as it was explained to me). Should he not cure the loan then the judge determines who gets what.

Thanks again for all the input.
