So we have a dilemma...
Gordon was recently transferred from the West Valley office (about 25 min away during rush hour) to the Thanksgiving Pointe office (about 60 min away during rush hour). He hates the traffic so we decided it would just be easier for us to move closer to his new location. We signed a 10 month contract for our house with the VERBAL agreement from our landlord that we could sell it if we were transferred.
I called our landlord yesterday afternoon to let him know that Gordon had been transferred and that we had listed our contract on KSL earlier that morning to get it sold. We already had 3 interested people contact me so I figured I should give him a "heads up."
He said he needed to talk to his dad (whom co-signed on the house with him) and then he would get back to me. After setting up 2 more appts for people to look at the house I still hadn't heard from our landlord so I text him to see if he had spoken to his dad.
He calls back...
Gordon talked to him for at least 20 minutes. Our landlord is denying ever discussing selling the contract and says we won't get our $1000 deposit back if we move before Oct 31st.
Grrr...
Both Gordon and I had seperate conversations about selling our contract because we were concerned he would be getting transferred.
We realize it is our fault for not getting it in writing, but we are willing to find renters to take over our lease so he isn't out anything...
I get to call him back after we make a decision to try and convince him to let us sell our contract.
A few things on my mind...
The first 3 months we lived here our landlord would text me at the end of the month requesting rent early when it wasn't due until the 5th. He finally stopped after I said something to him.
He advertised that the Club House and Pool were apart of the contract, come to find out they are not!! Grrr...
We have made awesome friends here and I really don't want to leave them yet.
I have 4 appointments set up to show the house tomorrow and could possibly have the place rented June 1st, but I'm going to cancel them if he is going to be...
We really like the house and it finally feels like home.
We are expecting a baby the beginning of Oct and I really don't want to be moving with a newborn.
We can find a bigger house for the same price closer to Gord's work.
I'm a landlord myself and understand his concerns about finding good renters, people that will take care of the house...
We realize it is our fault for not getting the VERBAl part of the agreement in writing, but if he wants to be dishonest and pretend that he never discussed that option with us then we will be out by the 31st and he can lose some $$
Losing $1000 is A LOT of money! For both of us
We would be saving time and $$ by moving closer to Gord's new office.
So... What would you do??
Would you stay or would you go??
