Call a main number for WaMu and ask what office handles property that has gone back to the bank in that specific location.4.

I had intentions to keep the house, but due to health condition I am unable to work and am on disability.

$1550, not $1950 -- and it's quite overpriced mainly because it's close to CMU, and the glut of students and lack of housing drives up prices around here, especially when you're desperate near the start of a semester.As for lease violations -- the only issue is the junk left behind, which was as I said present when they moved in; but of course that is their word against the landlord's.
