sj, that both sucks and blows. I fervently hope the owner can't/doesn't sell the place.
Is it evil to ask for anti-selling~ma?
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

So, any final thoughts for SB 30's title?

sj, it's not evil at all to hope she can't sell. Did you and Dave pay a fee to this rental agent? If so, you might want to think about writing a nasty letter demanding your fee back since they withheld information, or, say, if she does sell and you're evicted w/in the next 12 months that they help you find a new, comparable place to live for you without charging you another fee.

I'm getting the pig!
That's such crap. Whether they thought she'd be able to sell it or not, they still should've disclosed that little tidbit of information. Jerks.
The part I'm most disgruntled about, on your behalf, is that she'll want to show the place and that is such a PITA for you and Dave. Grrr.

We each paid a $25 background check fee, but other than that I assume they make their money off the property owners. Which I guess means that all of their loyalty is to them, and we get screwed over.

The agent also claims she never showed it once in the 6 months the last renters were there. If she does start showing it on a regular basis, we are out of there.

Is there a professional organization you can report them to for withholding information? That's just wrong, there ought to be some sort of consequences for them.

I have already given away the clerical level work I did - so a temp is not an option. I work in some very specialized programs that require special permissions within the company. My main beef is that I've been told to delegate, so fine, I'm trying - but it takes two to tango - ya know?
Ahh, then I just shake my fist in their general direction on your behalf.

I suppose we can call the Better Business Bureau or the Realtors Association. We're going to see if they can get a 6 month lease first; then at least we know that if she sells it in that time we are safe until then and she can't just suddenly raise the rent on us. Dave is going to call Joe tonight.
