Hi,
I really need some help here, let me explain the situation. The landlord informed me out of nowhere that she was going to sell her house because she is retiring and that I have to give permission to the broker to show of f the house on the weekends, which I was ok with that, however sometimes I had appointment to see apartments, so I told her that I wasn’t going to be home on one weekend, and she went mad and sent me to Court. When she told me that she was going to sell her house, I told her that to give me some time to move but at the same time that I didn’t have enough money to move right away; so I didn’t pay her two months…so when the court day arrived…to make the story short. I told the judge that I was going to be ready to move out by August 31, 2009; which the judge consented, however, he also stated that after August 31, 2009, the landlord can go after that money (2 months of rent). Last week I spoke with the landlord and told me that she is leaving to her country on mid-October. I don’t know if she still intents to look for the money judgment. How do I know if she stills wants it?....
Hi frumosa11
First tell us whether you intend to pay your landlord the 2 months rent that you have defaulted. If yes, and also since she deserves it, you may simply pay her off. And about whether she still wants or not, this can best be answered by your landlady herself. But I am sure she would want it. Maybe you should go and speak with her and you never know she might also waive it off for good faith :)
You are right carol, the only one that can answer that question is the land lady, did you ask her? I am sure if she took the time to take you to court then she will want her money.
I would definatley pay her. Do you relize if you do not it can make it hard for you to rent another place later, especially if they do a credit check. Something as little as a couple months rent is not something you want messing with your credit. It really can haunt you for years to come. I would take the suggestions of others here and ask the landlord how the two of you can work out this matter. I am sure she would not want to mess with court matters while moving out of the country. Good luck.
