Thanks again for all of the terrific comments.

The owners are not unreasonable – I just think they’re hanging on to their HELOC-funded empire by their fingernails.

I’m comfortable with letting them know – by June 30th – that we plan to be out of the rental by August 2nd and want to use our deposit as last month’s rent. I’ll offer to let them come by and do an inspection after we’ve moved out.

If they feel that repairs are needed, and we agree, we’ll arange to make repairs. This seems perfectly reasonable to me.

I truly believe they would only freak out over this if they had no intention of returning the deposit in the first place. Because they’d be missing out on an easy $2300.

As I’ve said in other posts, the owners are nice people when financial bankruptcy often leads to moral bankruptcy in the name of “survival.”

I will also look over our lease and see what it says. It was a boiler plate document.

Thanks!

Thanks, HLS!

I am about 95% certain that we won’t get the deposit back. The owners of our rental are in deep doo-doo, and I think financial desperation leads people to o things they normally wouldn’t.

This house (our rental) was already in default once – a few months before we moved in. I actually called Riverside County after the owners asked us about doing a short sale 2 mos ago.

I was concerned about being kicked out of the house, and explained the sitch to the woman from the county. She said, “if you give me the Parcel Number, I’ll tell you what’s going on.”

The nice woman from the county told me that the house had already been in default once. Just before we moved in, last year. It makes me wonder if our security deposit/1st month’s rent were used to get the house out of the hole?

Ordinarily, I would be a superb tenant and play by the rules but, in this case I think taking “the high road” will be a one way ticket to YoureScrewedVille.

Yes, I will let you all know what happens.

Oh, the drama!!!!

Thanks, BobS.

We plan to move into the new place by the weekend of August 1st. Hopefully, it will be a non-issue. I honestly cant imagine that they would bother to go through all of the trouble of serving, court, etc. when, in all likelihood, they are going to default anyway.

I’ll just keep my fingers crossed that we can make our new place livable by then….
