But there were damages because of a dog & he left us a $525 water bill & the lease was specific about 60 days written notice.I approached her to track him down for payment but he had moved in with another woman (2 miles from our home) & was working off the books to avoid child support & their health care payments.

You will have relatively few higher dollar transactions if you are lending so you likely want a custodian that charges by the transaction.

I have been working for a large property developer in downtown Indianapolis as well as working for law firm that primarily handles real estate related matters.

Dave: if you are a bonafide tenant (not a relative of the LL or one of the owners or someone with a special arrangement with the LL) your tenancy and your lease are protected by the Tenants in Foreclosure Act fro 2009 (that runs through 12/2014).
