My circumstances changed and so I backed out of a lease. I told him before my move in date, and he was able to rerent the place starting a few days later. I have offered to pay those days, but he is insisting on keeping my full security deposit. I talked to a real estate attorney, who said legally he can’t “double dip”, which he is doing. He just moved out so he can’t really say he could have rented it earlier. My option at this point is small claims. Is it worth it? I believe I have all the evidence in my favor and it is not a small amount of money, close to $3k. There is nothing in the lease that he can keep the security deposit as an inconvenience fee, I feel bad for backing out, but he was able to rerent it almost immediately so I don’t feel he should keep my money. Any thoughts? submitted by /u/PerfectConstant1120 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1uk31d2/backed_out_of_a_lease_place_was_rerented/

Is this a new thing? Kind of a vent here. I realize everything is usually available online but if I’m out and see a for sale sign with info about a property via flyers or a permanent info poster, there’s hardly ever a price listed. I gotta dig for it online. Anyone know why? It’s super annoying to have no idea about even the range. Maybe it’s just my area…but I think it’s a mistake if you are a broker is choosing this route. I would think it’ll slow the process if someone is seriously interested. submitted by /u/mydoghank [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1ukld33/why_no_price_listed_on_real_estate_sale_signs_and/
