Property Foreclosed, me booted & want to file in small claims, please advise
I am in VA. I am thinking of filing something will small claims but I don’t want to look stupid so please read on and tell me if you think it is worth it.
Started a new lease in Jan 2008. Now the lessor owned a little company and would sign his name for such and such company which was his, but his company was said to be leasing the property out to me.
In Feb in March the house was almost foreclosed on but he fixed it and stopped it. I could not stay in the house comfortably after that b/c I never knew if it was going to happen again. Well wouldn’t you know that at the end of July there was a court document on the door for a court date for him and jane/john doe (me) to attend if we liked. Apparantley this property was taken back by the bank in June!! Well needless to say when I rented out the place I put a deposit down AND I paid July’s rent. We were not put out until September but that is beside the point.
I guess my confusion is with the lease agreement and his company name being the one leasing the property, but he signed everything and HE owned the property, not his company. Please advise!! Thanks!!
