If nothing works, pack up and leave. Clean the house as much as you can to get most of your security deposit back. Pay some fees for early termination of lease and just get out. If you’re concerned about your kids, this is te best road to take.

If you really love the place, can’t you just buy it? I don’t know? but something like a rent to own agreement. I got my home that way.

This is why you should not just think of the location and cost when renting a home. You also need to take into consideration how long you intend to stay and will the circumstnaces surrounding the rental allow you to stay that long.

This may be a funny idea but maybe you can have a huge dog. That way, no one can just barge in to see the house. They would need your consent first or fear being attacked by your pet. 😀

That’s a tough lesson learned but at least you know better now. Next time, you wouldn’t even consider the thought of renting a house for sale even if it’s conveniently located between your husband’s office and your kids’ schools. Sometimes, living in apartment complexes have perks – and this is just one of them.

If you cannot move out yet because of the lease, then maybe you can ask your landlord about the possibility of a rent deduction. This is because you are getting the best of living in that house that is being sold on the market. You would also need to ask the agent to include in the MLS listing that the house is currently occupied so that house showings can be scheduled per group.

When you’re home, I think it would be best if you don’t leave the lock box outside.

Talk to your property manager if you’ve already signed the lease agreement. Calmly tell them that this wasn’t what you were promised when you decided to rent. And since you have kids in the home, then they should also consider their safety.

Lesson learned: never rent a home that is for sale. You’ll never know when you might need to pack up and go.

I had the same problem once. I had to move out because prospect buyers walked in on me in my underwear. I was in my room when they walked in and gosh, that was really embarrassing. So I talked to the property manager and moved out. Yes, I was still in a lease agreement so I had to pay some fees for moving out early.
