ParticipantKewp unfortunately that is not true. You may not set foot in a Walmart but to think that many products you have that were not manufactured or have components made in China is completely incorrect…
Many people do not realize how much electronic hardware is made overseas now. People who have cable boxes, dsl, modems, wireless equipment, televisions, flat screens…on and on and on guess what. They may not be manufactured in China but I will be willing to bet some of the components are made in China. How about tires and other components in automobiles. How about lamps…how bout our own tanks, and planes…I could go on and on.
I am not blaming the Chinese either. It is not their fault for being opportunistic. If it wasn’t them it would be someone else. That is how capitalism works and it was a natural cycle for American producers of goods to realize the goods can be made or bought and resold cheaper then in America.
I don’t think there is a straight person or entity to “blame” as it is not anyones fault. However to be naive and think, I don’t have baby’s toys or it is the consumerism in America that is to blame… well I am really not so sure it is as easy as that.

Kewp I totally agree with you… The reality is that it is not as easy as one would believe. I am not sure if I saw it on tv or read about it (maybe here on Piggington), but there was a very interesting story about a woman who did just that. Her goal was to NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING made in China. Was that here on Piggington? The final outcome was that she was able to reduce things substantially but not 100% and it was actually very challenging for her to do it.

ParticipantEx-SD it really is not that easy.
First off a lender will not discuss anything with anyone regarding the loan the lender has in place with the landlord. The exception is that the lender would have to receive written authorization from the homeowner to discuss the loan with another party. There is proper procedure for that. I think that if the tenant did what you are recommending, the tenant could actually incur some sort of liability so I disagree strongly with that advice.
If the tenant is distressed with the situation the best thing to do is to contact a real estate attorney and get sound legal advice.
I can tell you what I believe the most probable outcome will be. To save the most time and money, move out asap. Try to get the deposit back as soon as possible. The landlord must return the deposit less expenses in a very short period of time after you leave, I believe the max is 15 days after you leave. Make sure you give 30 days written notice.

Participantsdr you are preaching to the choir man. Remember I was on the receiving end of his tirade when he called me up to whine about bringing down the comps in his area.
I cannot believe he rejected 515k!!!
