I figured that if the title company going through seller's side is trustworthy enough, and I have had a very amicable open line of communication with all of them, that I would go with them because their all 5 star ratings are better than any I could ever find, and the seller's lawyer has said oh yeah this title company...yeah basically...not saying I have to be over-trusting, but I do get a sense of the situation and get a sense whether I should insist that I use my own etc etc with all the parties involved knowing everyone will be involved, getting a resolution that is sensible and reasonable. thanks again Todd.

@David T.I agree that litigation only benefits the solicitors.If sufficient evidence is presented to the landlord along with a letter (perhaps from a solicitor) detailing the statutes that have been violated, it is quite probable the tenant will be released from the lease and all deposits refunded.Sometimes projecting you have the resolve to go to war is sufficient to create an opportunity for negotiated resolution.

Exceptions happen, that's why you have resolutions.

If you have a dispute, it may be very difficult to seek resolution as you'd be dealing with a behemoth of a company.  

Drastic changes are needed, to make the government more efficient, not larger.Joel Owens You're right, there is no resolution to these conversations.
