Default tenant that owes several months back rent has finally moved out and my mom who is the new new owner (brother died and left house and assumable mortgage to her in his will) is trying to get gas service but the gas company says service is still active and past due balance under tenant's name.

What is the best resolution?

(City of Manassas, County of Prince William)

how do they get away with such operations, i mean for example, in the eyes of the VA and/or DC Real Estate Departments, luring in potential clients publically with the above link and then giving the run around that 'if you're looking to list with us at the discounted rate we have a web page set up for, sorry we're not taking any more listings in your area'?!

as for the quality of their service (that Brazil expands on) given the above experience thus far, indeed i would not be surprised! 

so much for the first words on the above page: 

Get Full Service for a
1% Listing Commission

so i contacted a redfin agent via text with the above link and the address of a DC area relative who's thinking of selling and asked me to research, only to receive a call back from Redfin (not the particular agent i texted) saying sorry if you're looking for that offer, we dont have agents available to help you since they're all working at 'full capacity' now during 'peak season'

i then contacted another redfin agent via text with the above link and the address of a NVA area relative who's s thinking of selling and asked me to research, only to receive again a call back from Redfin (not the particular agent i texted) saying sorry that offer is only for specific addresses within NVA and we don't have agents available to help you since they're all workin at full capacity now durin peak season yada yada.

my relatives' reactions were of disbelief and bewilderment, respectively. dont know of any other discounted brokerage brands servicing prince william nor wash dc county; they're looking to save on commission as selling below market val to get out before the proverbial next bubble burst or us collapse

Never seen an appraiser ask if the home is being sold furnished or unfurnished. Then again, usually sell more often without finance than with. But the few appraisals I been to, the appraiser takes lots of notes and measurements but never asks anything, such as whats staying going. Do ppl buying furnished even get that taken into account or do appraisers nevertheless generally consider only real property & fixtures?

i'd be terrified of the new check bouncing or whatever yet again as well as it all going downhill from there on out; would take the $50 and no longer accept checks from new tenants.

regardng the police, i know of two farmers (who grow edible crops, not MJ!) who in recent years have complained they  came home to find sheriff's dept snooping around their home looking for MJ to confiscate, when they found nothing, they still try to lift anything valuable like iphones, laptops etc and provide bizarre stories like 'WE CHASED A MURDER SUSPECT WHO FLED ONTO YOUR PROPERTY IN HIDING'. in retrospect, i find theres more '420 FRIENDLY' civilians, officials, etc, than there are not. perhaps even to officials its a quick way to make extra $$, crashing and siezing GROW OPS? police state =L

yea lien / title sale it at DMV! usually u will find the owner surface out of nowhere claiming they had no idea their car was missing or some other cockamamie story, and that they want it back but have no way to move it or put it =L

Absolutely! Even for rent/sale listings in urban zips phone rings off the hook and even ppl go by knocking asking if the garage is for rent or rent-to-own and so on since would be perfect for 'GROW UP'.They are even blunt about how the biz is and will split generous profits.  

As if the nation's youth need to be even more buzzed, lazy, lost and what not! Refer to FEDERAL status and gateway tendency to move onto opiates, meth, LSD, etc =L

Still yet it seems its what most everyone is spending their disposable income on these days perhaps to escape the economy, pollution, chemtrails, weekly massacres and perpetual war? If I had to list to top 10 states where its become commonly accepted to use/grow in the neighborhood, already, would be: CO WA OR NM ME MI RI CA VT AZ

There goes the neighborhood or perhaps the whole nation if this keeps up =L

Theres goes the neighborhood! or should I say, THIS neighborhood as Mister Roger's song has somehow mysteriously changed?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMUGJZrR9Jg

Recently closed on a house and follow up visited after 2 weeks but new owner was not home but neighbor was home and mentioned 2 'Molder & Scully' types came by asking questions including to describe the person that now lives there. I was surprised to find that they were apparently told the house was purchased with funds they are now investigating the source since was cash. 

Anyways, I told the neighbor I'd ask for full names and badge # and call their head office before I even open door and/or talk over my gate to folks esp once claim to be officials, collecting info, esp with all the fraud and shootings going on even by blue collars.

So the neighbor said there seemed to be an interest in source of cash funds. So strangers go around telling neighbors the new neighbor bought their house CASH now?! sheesh.  Me, in this day and age I dont sell any other way, ie, I don't go to contract with unneccessary contigencies, ie the buyer committing to purchase only on the condition that they will somehow secure the funds since they dont yet have them, but, hey, to each his own. But after running this by the escrower, it appears they are dealing with an increase in inquiries whenever they transact a cash sale. This is new to me cause I would think there's more loopholes for fraud in mortgages, loans, lines of credit, etc! But apparently they are now requiring 2 statements showing the funds steadily in buyer's account for over 30 days. I could swear this used to be only for loan underwriting, not CASH underwriting! Sign of the times, I guess. 

Anyways, so I'm wondering would it be superfluous to require of cash buyers to now show the funds were in their account at least for over 30 days? Which would generally mean 2 consecutive statements. Again, totally new to me but nothing surprises me anymore in this police state.
