The client wouldn't come down on the rent when we asked for rent reduction for a long term lease. I have a feeling that will be the answer if I were to ask about it this time as well.

How much does water cost?

According to the water company about $50 - $70 every two months, depending on the month.

We worked out the money on this to the penny because Joe's unemployment is finally gone since congress didn't pass the new bill before the Easter break. He's job searching, but Lord knows how long that will take. We based everything on my salary alone which would have been tight, but so totally worth it.

Yeah, I understand. I just didn't know how much $ water cost there. I pay about $120-160 every 6 weeks for water/sewer. We have been living in drought circumstances here, though, so our water is very expensive.

I think that this is a different situation, but I would focus on getting remedy from the realtor, not the client. It's not the client's fault that the realtor misrepresented the terms. The realtor should take care of it. You could also ask for a lump payment of $600 (water for the year).

The realtor should do something. The willingness to fix their error will be a major factor in them finding new client

Vortex - one year or the term of the lease, which is two years?

Vortex - one year or the term of the lease, which is two years?

didn't realize the lease was two years, I'd go for the term of the lease, maybe be willing to accept only one year.

Vortex, since you are handing out legal advice, so you (or anyone else) know a criminal attorney who works in Northern Virginia? I have a friend whose 19 yo daughter was convicted of 2 misdemeanors 1-2 years ago and is looking to expunge her record.
