Too many self-help conversations where people focus on the cost of set up and not on the full legal implication.

I get probably 10% of the calls that will tell me they have past problems and the conversation ends there.

The only items that tenants pay for are their own utilities, not to include water, sewer and trash.

First of all, I assume that the landlord, with characteristic incompetence, is not going to send a written itemized list of damages within 30 days, as required by PA state law.

If you have a conversation with the seller about why they are selling they might tell you things that they would not tell a buyer.

Before making deals, we ask that you first participate on the site and join the conversation.

You can negotiate a payment with the apartment complex where they agree to pull the item completely in exchange for the agreed payment (less than what is owed, the full amount, or even higher - what ever is agreed).

It is when you do not even have items on the spreadsheet that will cause panic.John Corey

And for the HUD 1 statement, any help on what items I need to include would be appreciated.
