Thanks for everyone’s comments – especially UR. I really appreciate the different prospectives on my situation. Unfortunately I did not discover that the condo was in distress until over 1 year after I lived there – when the first NTS arrived on the front door. Like UR, I thought it might not be a bad thing if the bank did foreclose but it did not happen then. I just didn’t think it would happen AGAIN!

Interestingly, UR told me the property is not listed as a short sale, even if it is priced optimistically. I’ve not heard from landlord since condo was put on the market for sale. At least now I know what my negotiation points are if she wants to show the place. 😉

My theory is that the first time around she told her bank she lived there. That’s why she either needed me to evict me or I am her sister.

This time around, she listed it for sale (presumably short sale) but since there is no sale sign and it is priced so high that there would be no *real* interested buyer, I think she’s stalling the sale so that she could continue to collect rent.

But heck if I know what she’s really up to.

The landlord is so tight-fisted with her money that she did not even have insurance on the property. When there was a sewer line backup on the property and there was some flooding, she wouldn’t pay the contractors the agreed upon amount. They walked off the job, and she ended just hiring some dubious character to just close everything up. There is no “advantage” with the landlord. I just want to finish my lease and pray that I can get my security deposit back.

I’d terminate the lease early but she said i’m liable to lease payments per the agreement so I’m stuck here until the lease ends.
