Unless you have something in writing from property managers saying you can break the lease on the 15th, without fee, it will be difficult to argue that they were letting you out. right now it is a "he said, she said" situation, assuming everything was verbal. billing you prorated rent for January is your only indication that "maybe" they were letting you out early with no fee. if you took this in front of a judge, which is what you will need to do to recoup your loss, it would be up to him to decide who is right and who is wrong.many counties have free legal aid for tenant issues. my suggestion, run it by them and see what they say. if they agree with you, a strongly worded letter may get you your money. if not, you have to go to court, and you will have to decide if half a months rent is worth all that trouble.

If you decide to hire a resident manager (instead of a property manager) you will be exposing your self to more liability and may have more work managing an employee who may not know how to manage an apartment building.

I've decided I want to change that, though, which is why I'm here!

I would just trend lightly and really watch that admission level if you do decide to jump in.

I can honestly say the negative experiences turned me away from trying to follow my parents’ footsteps but I have returned full circle and have decided to think outside the box and put the negative memories behind me (not forgotten though).

Do you mean where a lawsuit has gone it's course and the Judge has ordered a sale or do you mean people who haven't paid their mortgage and the bank has decided to do a foreclosure (Trustee Sale)?
