Marion, 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.

Can they evict me?

They can and should. Just because the owner is having trouble making his payments and has a financial legal issue with his mother doesn’t alleviate you of your legal obligation to pay rent. Thats a pathetic opportunistic sort of behavior. If you have concerns about who to pay the rent to, put the money in an escrow account and tell both parties you’ll pay when you find out clearly to whom you would owe the rent. It sounds like without a foreclosure, you still owe your landlord, not his mother.

4plexowner is probably the guy to ask on that. By his own admission he did well buying small rental units last decade and selling into the boom.

As to where to park cash, ask Rich. Thats his new day job.

Collectively or as individuals? I’ve got 20%, but I’m not going to say of what. I’ll also say I leave my doors unlocked quite often, but not what my address is.

Generally the content on Bens blog is very good. He just amalgamates lots of news. The comments on the other hand have been on a long slide into the gutter these last two years. Its always been a shriller crowd over there, but sometimes it gets out of hand, even for me.
