You should mobilize that 2000 into a voting bloc against any anti-landlord representatives.Btw, in Seattle, owner is responsible for Electricity, regardless of name on the bill.

Dilruk Hettiarachchi states it's a scam, never give money before funding.

Total scam.

I wonder if this is why BC passed that anti flipping sur charge .. to keep this stuff from happening.At least in Oregon it boils down to do you own it or do you not..

My money is on them trying to scam you here.
