Foreclosure

Wanda

My roommate and I signed a 2 year rental agreement. When we moved in, we found our landlord had left 2 sawhorses, some tools and a huge 12'x 4'x 1 1/2' above ground planter in our back yard. The huge, unsightly planter was leaned up against the building. These things ruined the look of our small yard area and it made much of the area we paid to rent totally unusable.

We moved into a single family dwelling with a one year lease September 2011. The landlord never wanted to change his mailing address and all his mail is still coming to the rental house we are in. The landlord gave me an address in Antioch where I would send his mail and rent check. I had the address in my iPhone my I phone was recently stolen as a result I had to re-create all my contacts. I had landlords cell phone but not the address. I called him about 3 months ago to ge the address so I could send his mail and rent check. I left message on voice mail.
