Rental Deposit on Foreclosed home
I currently lease a home that was foreclosed on in Texas. The party that represents the new owner offered us cash for keys to move out in two weeks. The property management company that we dealt with(who represented the foreclosed owner) says that they will waive all deposits and fees if we move into another one of their properties. Is this just a ploy by them to get us in another one of their properties without refunding our deposit? Are they the ones that would have our security and pet deposit or are those funds transferred to the bank that bought the property? If I choose to lease a home from a different property management company, can I ask for full refund of the pet and security deposits being that they no longer have anything to do with this home?
On a different note, will the bank that purchased the foreclosed home have a record of appliances that were in the house? There is a washer and dryer set as well as refrigerator I would be interested in keeping.
