i have not moved all my stuff and the president said my application was never looked over because. Of the amount of money he owes the association.The landlord is not supposed to rent it to anyBody.

Thank you James.

Hello everyone,

I recently started the process to rent an apt from a landlord.I gave him the application to send to the association for approval,the security deposit and first months rent.I called the association and they told me i would get an answer in two weeks.Once two weeks passed i get a call from the landlord telling me i got approved and to come get the key.I was very excited picked up the key and the next day i took all my stuff to the apt.While moving in i got a knock on the door and it was the president of the association telling me this apt is not for rent because the landlord owes them over twenty thousand dollars.He also told me the landlord is in the process of getting the property taken away.The president told me to call the landlord and tell him to get my money back.I have receipts of the amount of money i gave him so how do i go about getting my money back and what if he refuses what legal action can i take? Please help (first time renting)

I'm meeting the landlord to him give the money for the background check and for first months rent.

Hello everyone!

So tomorrow i'm going to meet up with the landlord to sign a lease on an apartment.He is asking me to pay for the application fee and he is also asking for first months rent. This is my first time renting/leasing so i don't know if i'm new at this but wouldn't i give the first months rent after i get approved and not before?I just feel nervous just handing a random guy money. I have no criminal background,excellent credit and a good job so i don't think ill have a problem with the application. But what if they deny me?The landlord says if they deny me he will return the money but like i said why doesn't he just wait till they approve me then give him first months rent? Also is there a legal document anyone has that will state if i give him first months rent and get denied i will get my money back.

Thank you
