    in chap 7, and got email from previous lanlord

    we broke a lease this fall, because #1 we could not afford it, and #2, he wasn't making any repairs on the house. we had one working toilet out of two and one working sink, the other stayed stopped up all the time. no insulation in the attic, so electric bills were $700 a month, for a one story home.

    basically, he screwed us, and with the HUGE bills to the plumber and the electric we couldn't afford it and moved....after multiple emails to him about the problem. he is a lawyer and wan't to finagle every repair and try to negotiate prices, like replacing the toilet, he wanted me to pay over half and we had been there less than 90 days, and it was broken becaus eit was old and he had never replaced it.


    long story short, he should have been served this week, with the notice of 341. he is in the bankruptcy.

    well i get an email this evening that states the following.:


    Sorry things ended as they did; hope your husband is doing better (if he was ever actually sick).husband had three surgeries in october, all emergency. he knew that because we told him, yet he acts as if it never happened.

    I have some questions, and would appreciate if you could answer them.

    1. Where are the keys? keys were left in the mailbox when we moved out in october
    2. What are the stains in the carpet? Especially in the gameroom? I'm having them cleaned, and it would sure help for the cleaning guy to know what he's trying to get out.(stains were there when we moved in, we had the carpet deep cleaned and they surfaced after it dried.
    3. You didn't have any insulation blown into the attic, it appears. So what were the electric bills actually running?(we did not have it blown in because it was his responsibility, and in texas he has to have at least 1/2-1" in the attic to even rent the place.
    4. I had the water turned back on, and it seemed to work just fine. What, if any, problems with the water were you actually having?(problems were nt with the water, it was with the plumbing, and he knows that)
    5. What else should I know, but don't even know to ask about?
    6. Are you okay? I mean this sincerely...not asking "what the hell is wrong with you?!" But I would like to know, why all the deception?there was none on our part, it was on his

    Thanks for your response.


    so, am i supposed to respond to this, can he ask this at the 341, if he should appear? what should i do? do u think this is some kind of set up? i am so lost. this is the first time he has communicated with me since we moved out october 15th.

          I wouldn't respond. You already told him everything. Sounds like he is just phishing.

            i think he is trying to set me up, and what is funny is we are the ones that got hurt in the deal. he wouldn't fix anything on the property and with 4 kids, we were left with one bathroom and another smelling of sewer water. it sucked.

            he knows we weren't deceitful, at all......i bet he shows at the 341 though.

                  exactly - he's phishing to try to get you to say something that he might be able to use against you. Did you send him emails of everything that was wrong when you lived there? Just wondering. It won't matter but it would be an extra if he did show up and you could whip out emails documenting.

                    oh yeah, i sent four or five just in the first two weeks of october, with read receipts, and he never replied. the last two were notice that we were going to vacate the home if the repairs were not made, since the lease forbids us from deducting repairs.......so anything we fixed we had to eat as far as the expense.....

                    he never even replied once we moved....just ign ored us. i thought he would take us to court for breaking the lease, but he hasn't filed. i included him in my chap 7, and today, i get this email out of the blue.

                    he is such a jerk. he is a lawyer, so i am sure he will try to stick it to us the whole way.

                      Document, document, document! Take the email with you to your 341, along with anything you may have that you sent to him, copies of bills, etc... Keep your butt covered- he sounds like a slimey one!

                        yeah, he is a low end lawyer. i should have looked into him more before i signed a lease to rent his home. he wormed us out of money from day one. like the sink faucet. one day after we signed the lease, we were doing the inventory and the faucet wouldn't expel water, it needed to be replaced, and he made me pay half!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                          Our landlord right now is my husband's aunt- and we have gotten into a few sticky situations with her. We have 4 kids too and had to replace a 2k furnace in the middle of January- not fun! Actually- that scenerio is what finally led us to admit we needed to file BK. I cant wait until all this is over and we can buy a house again. Good Luck!

                            His email to you sounded real jerky. I got a real bad vibe from it. I'd just document everything that happened with the apartment to bring to the 341 just in case and refuse to answer his stupid questions. Don't even answer him back; I don't see the point in it and he may be trying to trick you into saying something that he can use against you later.

                            Did you save copies of the high electric bills? $700 is absolutely insane for a month of electric! It sounds like a real hell-hole of a house with a slimy slum-lord. I'm glad you are out of there.

                              yeah, they are included in my bankruptcy to, i couldn't afford the last bill, and had to let it go......i have them all though. it was a house, but no house that would cost that much in electric.

                              this guy is very weird. i got that vibe from the get go. he is always trying to fenagle everything, he is cheap, and he acts nice, but he is really an ass. i dont think he is the brightest on the block, common sense wise......but he is smart........i am not going to respond. i think on monday, i am going to file an amendment and change his info to disputed on the bankruptcy......
