    Default Re: Can You Take Action Against a Realtor Who Acts as a Property Manager

    Are there any legal actions I can take against her?
    You are free to report your experiences to any licensing agency or government agency that is willing to take your report, but the issue has nothing to do with your lease or its validity.
    Quote Quoting swirly6
    She has been threatening, showed up at my house yelling and screaming for me to pay rent. I made an account error during an electronic payment.
    If you don't want a property manager to demand overdue rent, avoid mistakes that result in your being overdue.
    Quote Quoting swirly6
    The next day the homeowner told me to move out for failure to pay rent. Which I know she has a right to do.
    The owner can give you notice over your failure to pay rent and, if you fail to cure the problem within the parameters of state law, can proceed with an eviction. It's not clear why you chose not to pay rent once you identified your 'account error', but it's not surprising that your landlord wants to be paid.
    Quote Quoting swirly6
    The homeowner emailed me saying she was releasing me from my lease and would return my deposit within 72 hours, minus the days I was there.
    If that's what you and your landlord agree as a resolution to your lease, that's certainly something you and your landlord can agree to do.

    How can I be evicted when I don't live there?
    Your landlord is understandably protecting herself, in case you don't move out as agreed. You can work with your landlord to ensure that the case is dismissed in association with the terms of your settlement, once you're in full compliance.
    Quote Quoting swirly6
    I don't even know who I should go after for my deposit. The owner or realtor?
    If your landlord does not return your security deposit, you would go after your landlord for any improperly withheld portion of the deposit.
    Quote Quoting swirly6
    Can I file suit against either one for threatening behavior?
    Not unless you want to waste your time and money. You don't have even a hint of a case.
