Re: I don't know what to do....

To me you have to get real and the bottom line is money. Unless you have the financial freedom to lose the moving cost + RE cost than I think you have to stay. Don't let this experience cost you even more money. Next year you'll be shopping for a house and you'll be glad you didn't move and lose more money.

Re: I don't know what to do....

What you've already paid is in the past and done.

The next time you move, whether it's next week or next year, you'll have to pay for movers again. If you have to pay for car repairs, since you have three cars, you can choose when you get the repairs done. Like moving, if you have to pay for repairs, you'll have to pay -- it's just a matter of when.

Start looking for a new place now and give yourself a month to find a new place and decide if you really want/need to move at all.

Beth is planning on looking for a house next year though, or else I would agree with this. But to spend another $5k on an apartment that she only plans to live in for a year. IMO - big waste of money.

I agree. 11 months will go by fast - especially with you looking for a house. Another $5k for another apt & moving expense and REA commission is $5k that could go towards your new HOUSE is you just wait it out.

If you have the money to burn, I would get out personally.




we don't- I can ask the real estate agent to help us- and he might- he might not




There is no way the RE agent will give back the money. Chat Icon Chat Icon Sorry to laugh but they work on commission only. You signed a lease, they got their commission. That's the end of the story.

eta: i used to be an RE agent and if you asked for your money back I would laugh and say no.

I don't expect him to give me the money back

this is most likely what we are doing- unless the co-op board wants us out bad enough to pay for all my expenses

we are the victims and we wont lose money b/c of it

I would rather use the money towards the house or to move out a few months early

the money I spent on boxes, bubble and tape alone was a fortune

Re: I don't know what to do....

It sounds like you're leaning toward staying there. Which might not be such a bad idea, especially if you find a home quicker than you think.

You're problem is with the garage, not the co-op, and surprisingly they agreed to let you out of the lease.

One thing that stinks is that you're paying a premium to have garaged parking, and I doubt you'll be parking any of your cars in that garage anymore.

Still no release of those video tapes yet??

Re: I don't know what to do....

the dectectives are off till wednesday- then they are going for the tapes then

we are going to stay as much as we don't want to- I am trying to get Jake a spot where I park across the street- or my real estate agent can get him a spot where I was orginally going to park

and when the mustang is fixed- I just got the estimate- it's bad- not as bad as it could be- but bad

it will go to my Grandmas house in freash meadows under a cover- then when Jake wants it - he will leave the pathfinder there- it's a very safe neighborhood- and parked in the back- no one will see it

she doesn't have the right not to turn the tapes over to the cops- the are trying to make everything difficult for us in hopes we say forget it- which is there M.O- that's not going to happen

I was contacted by another news channel who said once we get the tapes to call them

but if they just pay for the damage- I will be quiet and stay in my apartment

Re: I don't know what to do....

You sound a lot calmer about it now, which is a good thing. It's good that you have a plan for parking and you're able to move forward. Last week was NOT a good week for you.

Hopefully everything gets resolved with the tapes and the garage quickly. Once that's over with, you can focus on finding a new, permanent home, and no more renting!

Re: I don't know what to do....

I am- b/c we are getting help

once the police took an interest I cheered up - and once the news took an interest- even if nothing comes of it- it's nice to feel like people want to help

the co-op board and garage are treating us like we're the criminals!

and that is why I am upset

Re: I don't know what to do....

Honestly - I would $uck it up and move - why would you want to stay - these people are going to have it out for you and now will probably make you life Hell for staying there.

Can you look for another place to live without going through an real estate agent?
