Am lining up estimates as fast as I can, but while this guy often would not let us show the place, he seems to either think he's 1) coming out ahead ( ie, will not give forwarding info), or 2) is shifty enough to think he will manage to get 3 months Security Deposit (we were dumb enough to do one month, at $2950 + $500 for pet damages, of which there was $300, plus a very big mess (at least $400 to clean), and undetermined damages all over.
