I've been renting a house for about years, tried to buy it, mortgage company needed one more month to give better rate. I had given earnest money to agent, but they showed house to someone else. She had panicked because she couldn't wait a month to sell. Well... I find out she was in foreclosure. Hadn't paid in about three years. She has taken me to court to get her rent. Mind you, I've been paying for 4yrs, but she hadn't been paying. Now she trying to pput me out to sell the house and make the money all over again.
