Legal Question
Landlord and Tenants
I don't know if this is the right place
to ask, but I got a notice on my door
the other day (addressing my
landlord, not me) saying that my
landlord owes a bit of money to the
(I'm guessing) the HOA and the all of
the amenities we (my wife and I)
have been suspended. We talked to
the landlord and he said the he is
losing a lot of money on this place
and didn't know if he could keep it,
then encouraged us to look for a new
place to live. He asked my wife how
long she thought it might take to find
a place and she said March.
My wife and I found a place a lot
sooner then we thought and we can
be out by Jan. We told our landlord
and he said that if we leave in Jan
that he would take us to court to
collect on the remaining months rent
(5 months). I was just wondering,
can he do this even though he is
behind on payments and we no
longer have access to the amenities?
Where can I go to find out if he is in
foreclosure? If he is in foreclosure,
do we have the right to leave early?
Thank you for your time and any
help you might be able to provide.
