Looking for a place to live.

Moving is never easy but maybe you can find a friend to stay with until you can find something reasonable.  Sometimes there are seniors looking for roommates but whatever you decide make sure you be careful out there and choose wisely.. One day at a Time

It is not hard.  Just hit quote.  The cursor will be at the end of the quoted comment.  Don't move it to inside of the other comment. Just hit return a couple times and it will skip down.  Type your reply.  Oh wait, you don't want to know things from me. LOL

Wow, that was a douchy thing to do to you.

It is his house.  She was living there for free.  I am sure he also paid for the land taxes as well as the house payment.  He has a right to sell it.  I am also sure she could have purchased it.  I had a house up for sale once and the real estate agent was like oh we can rent it until it sells.  I refused to entertain that thought because for one I did not want to deal with renters.  And two, I knew the house could sell at any time.  All beside the point.  Letting someone else live in your property is a pain.  I would have to hear his side of this before I could say he is a horrible bad person.  If there was an agreement she could live there until she died (which I doubt there was) then it is a bad situation.  If it is I will provide you a rent free place to live until child is 18 then he kept his end of the bargain.

Yes I'm sure if you are a mom you understand.  Only someone who doesn't have children wouldn't understand. My younger daughter was supposed to move in with him and his girlfriend and all of his girlfriend's family that didn't last not even 3 days she came back to me so now I have to look for a place for her and myself.

Being a mom has nothing to do with it.  It was his house.  He has a right to sell it and to tell you to either purchase it or vacate it.  It is not yours.  It is the same with any rental property.  If I am renting property and I decide for whatever reason I need or want to sell it then I can.  I owe the renter nothing.  Unless they have a lease and I would have to wait until the end of the lease. But then I can tell them to get out.  I do not have to give any explanation as to why I am selling.  This is what happens when you do not own your own property.

I have been responsible since a young age.  As soon as I turned 18 I opened a checking account/savings account in my name. I already had a job that I had for quite some time.  I applied for my first credit card and started to build credit.  I charged and paid in full every month.  I rented for a while.  I always paid in full and on time.  Again, building credit.  I had electric and phone in my name.  Always paid on time.  Again building credit.  I bought a new car.  I had excellent credit.  I paid all payments on time.  Same when I wanted to buy a house.  I had excellent credit history.  The house payment was no more than renting.  I live within my means.  Nobody handed me anything and I have worked for all that I have. 

Also kept excellent records of payments so I did not need to depend on a landlord or someone else to say oh she paid late. I could prove I paid on time. 

And btw, I still have excellent credit.

This is an old thread but I sure hope you found a place to live.
