[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, let him put the house on the market. Make it VERY difficult to show-refuse a lockbox and say by appointment only. Don't clean or pick up at all.

Don't leave the house during showings--follow the buyers around being "helpful"--"This room gets very hot during the summer/the neighbors have a zydeco band and they practice on Sunday mornings/I hope you are planning on private schools b/c the local one is terrible/this is the room with the asbestos" etc. [/quote

Why are you advising someone to act like an asshole? Is your character defect inherent, or did it develop over time?[/quote]

Owner started off being a PITA by selling mid-lease and refusing the OP to use a buyers agent - I thought a bunch of realtors defended the value of a buyers agent in negotiating and safeguarding the process? The whole finding the property in the age of the internet, hat better not be the primary value of buyers agent. But now since a realtor is getting 4% without splitting, suddenly they are singing different song.

My take away is that realtors like any arrangement where as much money is wrung from the buyer as possible.

But OP, yeah, do it by the book but don't bother accommodate the owner since they are really trying to shiv you. Let him market it as a property with an active legal lease and see how he does when the potential buyers are tripping over toys and can't get to utilities because that's where you store all the to donate baby clothes and dirty diapers.

When does your lease end? You may consider meeting a real estate attorney beforehand to ensure hey can't kick you out prematurely. What state are you in?[/quote]
