Can I renegotiate my rent with Landlord?

6months ago I signed a 1 year lease for the apt I live in. The rent is $1400 and I had been paying it every month. Due to the recession, my income has been affected and I don’t think I can afford to pay that much. I am planning on moving to a place for about $1000-1200.

Is it possible to call the landlord and renegotiate the rent for the remainder of the lease. At least something is better than nothing. I would have to break the lease anyways if I decide to move out and I am ready to loose the deposit and last month since I don’t have any option.

Does anyone know what are my options in this case. I am pretty sure he would not be able to rent it for some time because there are other similar empty units in the complex that have not been rented for 6 months.

How likely is it that tenants can assume the loan on the rental they are living in when landlord is in default?

My husband and I rent a house in CA, we just found out that our landlord is in pre-forclosure and the house has been listed for short sale. We have not been notified by anyone about this situation. We found out by searching our address on the internet. And during our search we found that our landlord’s other home that they occupied has forclosed. What are our options, if any, on negotiating on assuming the loan that our landlord is in default of, on the home we are renting?

Going to New York in August. what Broadway Musical should I see?

My husband and I (NO kids) are going to New York in august and, of course, have to go see a broadway musical. I looked at the options of what is currently playing and have no idea which ONE I should see. I narrowed down my list a bit per my interests, but I am still unsure. Can any of you tell me which ONE (and only one if you were to choose) you would go see again because it was really “that” good. I’m never going to be in New York again so this would be my one and only chance:

The choices are:
Wiked
Phantom of the Opera
The Little Mermaid
The Lion King
Rent
Mary Poppins
Legally Blonde
Hairspray
Grease
Chicago

Thank you!

The home I rent just went into foreclosure! Do I have options to stay?

Certified letter arrived here but addressed to landlord (didn’t realize @ the time) informing the dollar amount past due; due in 30 days. I don’t have the money; out on medical disability til @ least August. Doubt a lender would allow me to buy with my credit but wouldn’t it be better to have someone in the house instead of adding another to the market in 1 of the top ten cities with foreclosures? I’ve heard that they work with people to stay in homes…yes, I realize that I’m not the owner but…

Looking to rent out my property and move across the country. Thinking of using a property manager?

I am a property owner in orlando, fl and I am looking to rent out my property and move across the country, to the NorthWest. My question is, do people normally live that far away when they are renting through a property manager? It would seem that would be why you use a property manager, so you really don’t have to be close by. I have looked up fees for a property manager and I am currently weighing out my options whether to sell or rent, but I really don’t think i will be making much of a profit in the current market. If anybody has any advice please fill me in…thank you!!!

What are my options for selling a home in negative equity?

We moved into our new home Dec 2005 in Jax, FL. A few months later, my husband recd a job offer from Microsoft, so we moved to WA. Due to high home prices in Redmond, WA, we decided to rent a place in WA. So far, since May, we have had to pay a mortgage payment and rent payment each month that total aver $4K. After settling from the move, we looked into selling out home in FL. The home builder has now dropped their prices for new construction in that neighborhood. When we moved, the home that we bought for $240K was selling for $280K. Currently, the new homes are $216K. We have been trying to find a renter knowing that we cannot get the entire mortgage payment ($1965), and have dropped our asking rental price down to $1000. Still nothing. It’s a brand new place, nothing’s wrong with it and is in a fabulous location.

What are my options? We can no longer afford to make this mortgage payment and are in serious financial trouble.

TIA!
A appreciate everyone’s quick responses.

To AEN - in case there was any confusion, there is negative equity. We currently owe $242,000 and the current retail is $216,000.

I don’t want to be foreclosed one and have my credit ruined. That’s why I’m researching other alternatives.

What exactly is a short sale?
If the lender okays it, do I just get a normal signature loan for the difference?
Should I get in contact with a mortgage broker, as well?
