I think its harsh to view her plight as her own fault. Her finances could have been crippled by medical bills. Not everyone is fortuante enough to have medical insurance. Perhaps she hasn’t always worked because she was a stay at home mom. Perhaps her ex-husband screwed her and took all their money overseas. If she was working, she may have been “providing” for her children as a single mother and therefore never able to save much. Perhaps she suffered from a horrible financial advisor who invested poorly and left her with little. How can anyone be callous enough to say that its her fault she’s in the position she’s in and deserves to live in a car for her stupid choices? Have you never made a stupid choice in your life or been struck my misfortune?

Perhaps she’s staying in SB because she wants to be near her 19 year old daughter. When you’re down and out, I think you’d want support in the form of love. For her to just pick up and move somewhere less expensive and away from the only love and support it sounds like she has, might be quite difficult.

I think its easy for those of us sitting in our comfortable homes / glass towers to cast stones. Perhaps we should all stop living on our high horses and reach out to help others. If you’re too selfish to help others, at least have some sympathy.

Hi Marion, I agree with FormerSanDiegan, I would buy next year. You should save this while watching the market decline further, and build up your cash reserves so that you have at minimum 6 months of reserves for emergency funds. I know several people who didn’t have the reserves and justified that they they were in jobs they would never get laid off from (government, university) and did. The stress is not worth it!

I think when it comes to financial related matter, “reason” shouldn’t be the bar for determining the outcome. “Reasonable” is highly subjective. If I were you, I would do what the tenants rights site suggests, which is schedule a walk through “before” you move out and the owner has to present you with a list of things they want fixed. This way, you can “fix” the simple things and the list goes through things that are considered normal wear and tear. I’d suggest you print this list out – don’t assume your owner knows the rules. This is from the website I included earlier- here’s the link to the specific page. Put everything in writing as others have suggested.

Initial Inspection Before Tenant Moves Out
A tenant may ask the landlord to inspect the rental unit before the tenancy ends to identify defects or conditions that justify deductions from the tenant’s security deposit. The purpose of this “initial inspection” is to give the tenant an opportunity to repair the defects or do the cleaning identified during the inspection in order to avoid deductions from the tenant’s security deposit. The tenant has the right to be present during the inspection.

The landlord must perform an initial inspection as described in this sidebar if the tenant requests it, but cannot make an initial inspection unless the tenant requests it. However, the landlord is not required to perform an initial inspection if the landlord has served the tenant with a three-day notice (an eviction notice) for one of the reasons specified in footnote 204.204

Landlord’s notice

The landlord must give the tenant written notice of the tenant’s right to request an initial inspection of the rental and to be present during the inspection. The landlord must give this notice to the tenant a “reasonable time” after either the landlord or the tenant has given the other written notice of intent to terminate (end) the tenancy (see Moving Out). If the tenant has a lease, the landlord must give the tenant this notice a “reasonable time” before the lease ends. If the tenant does not request an initial inspection, the landlord does not have any other duties with respect to the initial inspection.205
