Thanks for posting for me Cathy. Mine was showing Kerry and Joe again and would not let me post. I think Bee is shaking chicken bones again.

This is a strange circumstance where the renter now says since his wife is deployed, if we push him he will make sure this does not go to court for a year because of some special deal. I understand compassion for the military which is why the seller let him go 4 months without paying but he is now using this against us and the house has taken on water and there is a mold situation we need to get in before it gets bad. He did let me in yesterday to look. His wife is not the breadwinner and he still has his job. Anyone have any answers?

Cathy, maybe I should post the word S E X so it shows up on the sidebar as a comment, that might get some attention.

That is sooooo strange.

lol, that should do it, looks like we got the librarian already. lol

SEX and STARS, can't beat  that?  lol

ROFL! Have enough of one and you'll see the other . . . but hold on a minute.

I would of course refer to the verbiage in the contract, but the tenancy is a condition of SALE, not a garden variety lease. What does the contract say? Is he in breach of the purchase contract? This could perhaps tip the scales back to a level playing field.

Mary I thought I posted this for you before.  You have to contact the wife's battalion commander.  Or tell the husband if he doesn't start making good on his rent that you are going to do just that.  Believe it or not the military really frowns on their service men or women not meeting their obligations.  Plus he is not protected by the military, she is.  If they wanted us to have spouses they would have issued them! You need to get a plumber or ??? over to the property ASAP to take care of the leak and the mold.  It sounds like he is setting you up.  But that just might back fire, because of the mold he would have to move out for mold abatement anyway.  This does not sound like the brightest bulb...  I would like to know what he is spending his money on, if not rent and I am sure she is making more money because of combat pay.  You should be able to write her through her base also.  Perhaps she is sending all her money home and has no idea he is not paying the bills.  He is using the situation, do not feel bad.

By the way Mary, when I had the Kerry & Joe problem the other night I ended up restarting my computer and when I came back in it was me again.  Don't know if the restart was the trick or not.

Jana

Jana, the seller does not wish to contact the commanding officer or whoever is over his wife. She thinks she will get in trouble and busted down a notch and then they will really be distressed. She has not done this thinking it would not help what the buyer says is a financial situation but now he is acting like he is exempt because she is in the military.

Candice he is in breach of the contract because it says 30 days before the end of the term he will apply for a loan and he did not do that. We extended everything 30 days because she got deployed and he said it would take awhile before she got paid. She was suppose to get paid in first week of June. He still did not make payment.

Jana, do you think it would be easier to contact her commanding officer because the seller works as a military pay technician and she would have no problem finding who to contact.

Mary,

As a retired military member I can tell you, her contacting the spouses commanding officer (or First Sergeant, maybe better) is the way to go.  The initial contact will not cause any harm to her career and will just let them know that a situation is developing that needs attention before it escalates and does affect the service member.

Also, tell her the Sailor and Soldier's Civil Relief Act is designed to protect all parties.  I worked as a First Sergeant for a few years and I recommened quite a few request for relief under this act be denied because the reasons were not compelling enough.  

Thanks guys. Cathy, I found Jana last night on the delete thread and got some input. I think I am comfortable now having the seller contact the buyers wifes CO. Anything we can do to keep the attorneys out right now will be great and won't harm or embarrass either party.

Cathy, thanks for posting for me, I haven't checked today to see if I am still Joe or not.

I KNEW I could come here for help, you guys are great!!!

I've dealt with a couple of soldiers undergoing hardships.  The guy sounds like a dead beat who has no idea what he is getting into.  This situation will only cause grief for his wife.

1st Sgt James is absolutely correct this situation is not compelling enough to warrant relief.

Let your client know that his actions affect his wife, her career and cause her needless stress.

Wait a minute... we went from Sex, Sex, and More Sex, until seeing stars...

...and now we are informing the CO Spousal unit of situations not compelling enough?  

I think there is a disconnect in this topic somewhere? <lol>
