To those who rent, do you regularly check county records to make sure your landlord is not in forclosure?
-------------------- My dog doesn't lick his own butt. He doesn't eat poop or step in it. I'll concede that he does smell other dogs' butts and he does lick "himself." I'd prefer it if he doesn't lick me right after that, so I employ a few minutes of buffer time between licking other things and me and I try to get him to drink some water too. - VLG

From what I've heard if the property is in forclosure, you won't be notified til they want to evict you and usually they only give you a few days. Which is why i'd check the records if my landlord was sketchy. -------------------- My dog doesn't lick his own butt. He doesn't eat poop or step in it.

No, I don't check. -------------------- When you try to make a statement, all you're really doing is raising questions.

QUOTE (rachel b. @ Jun 3 2008, 03:33 PM) Why would they want to evict me? I would guess because you have a contract with an individual who no longer owns the property.

They are a big multi-state company, the people who own the place where I live. I highly doubt they are going to be in foreclosure, even though they do a poor job of running the property...
Also, isn't this the kind of thing you should check out before renting the property in the first place? Is the rentor in good standing? Otherwise, you'd be taking a foolish risk moving all your stuff in, only to find yourself evicted shorty thereafter. -------------------- “The danger of ancient liberty was that men, exclusively concerned with securing their share of social power, might attach too little value to individual rights and enjoyments. The danger of modern liberty is that, absorbed in the enjoyment of our private independence, and in the pursuit of our particular interests, we should surrender our right to share in political power too easily. The holders of authority are only too anxious to encourage us to do so. They are so ready to spare us all sort of troubles, except those of obeying and paying! They will say to us: what, in the end, is the aim of your efforts, the motive of your labours, the object of all your hopes? Is it not happiness? Well, leave this happiness to us and we shall give it to you. No, Sirs, we must not leave it to them. No matter how touching such a tender commitment may be, let us ask the authorities to keep within their limits. Let them confine themselves to being just. We shall assume the responsibility of being happy for ourselves.”

QUOTE (Spot @ Jun 3 2008, 04:11 PM) is that the place where the lawns have bald patches? I don't think so. Not that I am aware of. They seem to care too mcuh about the lawn and not enough about the tenants. Although in the back of my building there are some real ruts from where cars drove on the grass when it was muddy. Is that what you mean? -------------------- “The danger of ancient liberty was that men, exclusively concerned with securing their share of social power, might attach too little value to individual rights and enjoyments.
