A year ago my family rented an apt. in Delaware, and unfortunately, due to my awaiting disability benefits, we fell behind and owe about $4000. We went to court, and the only money judgment is for $1,300 - (the rest of the money is being disputed, as the court dismissed the case because the amt. was not accurate). In the meantime, we moved to another rental property and basically fell into the same situation, (we again owe in the ballpark of $3,000 - (again, the case was dismissed, as there is a dispute over monies owed). We don't dispute that money is owed, and with our income tax we want to set the record straight. In the meantime, I've been awarded disability, only it comes too late to correct our rental history before we have to move in about two weeks.
My question is this - we are desperate to move, has anyone heard of a situation where a landlord will allow a month-to-month lease - as we now have adequate income - our prior landlords don't want to hear anything from us until they are paid in full. We need to move and want to know our options.
