Okay everyone, first thank you for your responses, but I must ask you all 'What are your sources of information'?
The reason being is I am in Colorado and I have studies and studied and read and read these statutes. Truly I am following the instructions that I have been given on the matter of "liens" and property.
And Yes - there is much more to this story. Okay there was rampant hantavirus throughout the house when we moved in. The 'agent' of the owner is my father in law. We gave up our previous residence because he asked us for a favor, for help with "grandpa's" house. We have worked very hard. My father in law has renigged on every verbal contract we've made to date (and I'm F---ing sick of it). My husband and I were on the streets for 2 weeks because he (father in law) got pissed at my hubby for not signing a release to our previous residence without a walkthrough by the owner.
We had traded rent for remodeling services there too. No lien was filed as per request by Chuck (father in law). My Hubby wouldn't do that because Chuck had signed on to our lease and it left all three of us liable in too many ways.
We have lived without floors for a year, without the products needed to do necessary repairs. Every time Chuck gets ticked about something he won't do what he has promised. No I am not perfect BUT MY WORD IS GOLD PEOPLE, I say what I mean and I mean what I say, my word is better than any written agreement anyone has ever held, I expect the same from the people I deal with, especially a man who was CEO of the US Postal Svc for 30 years.
Only 1 month ago, he saw me highly stressed. He said "don't worry everything will be fine" The owners (his wife and her siblings)have agreed to a minimum l year of occupancy for you guys and to be renegotiated than. I had heard these words, differently from him before and gotten screwed so nicely I let him how many times his promises had been broken and I was very fearful of it happening again.
I guess I was ----------- what?-------------right!
Chuck is finally going to get twice the amount of the second mortgage, and we're finally about to get carpeting in 2 days and what happens, a miscommunication re the date of installation and he serves us a 3 DAY PAY OR QUIT! Not to mention I receive Soc. Sec. Disability, not only a low income but fixed at $643 a month. We had just received our Housing Voucher from HUD and he was guaranteed rent for as long as he wanted. Now I'm pretty sure that's gone.
What the F---K is wrong with this "Knights of Columbus" representing Catholic christian man.
Is he stupid, senile, mentally ill, or?? /
