At lease signing he stated he was retired from GM and had two incomes but as it turns out he has 32 judgements against him just in the county I live in.

The only ones still around are the ones I took inside out of the rain a week or more after they left them.

if not, tell them that if you receive a call, you will have to be truthful about how the place was treated & how they handed the deposit. also tell them you tell LL you will be following up with the LL after departure of tenants.finally, tell them if they apply last month's as rent you will seek a judgement which can affect their future ability to rent & own.just some thoughts/ideas.

You can actually look up the complaint for the charges and the judgement and sentence for the outcome.

(ultimately, we found out a well-meaning neighbor with a key entered the house to bring a fedex box in out of the rain and decided to 'explore' a bit...)- When the bathroom sink broke this week the PM acted like we were the worst people in the world for wanting to get the sink fixed.

As for a short sale, time/doability depend on how many mtg.s, who owns the mortgage, any HOA liens, other judgements, etc.

If you need something else to read before you go to bed tonight you can also google the Maryland Credit Service Act which covers foreclosures, loan modifications, deficiency judgement negotiations etc.This is the basics.

_________________________________________________F I N A L N O T I C E O F D E F A U L TDate:As of 5 PM to day we will begin legal action against you for repossession of the home and judgement for the current loan balance, interest, late fees, court costs, and attorney fees.

Different situations require different strategies;how many mortgaes, number of other liens, judgements, etc.

It does not wipe out tax liens, judgements, etc.
