The sheriffs will serve the summons?

I thought an independent 3rd party did that?

Wait... she is the landlord but not the property owner?

She was acting as an agent of the owner, so as far as I understand that is the same as dealing with the owner of the property. Check your local law. Good Luck

She did break her contract with you. However, If she is willing to give you your money back, I'd cut my losses. Sorry, old post, but, still problems could exist that this might help someone.

You couldn't find something more recent than a two year old thread to comment on?

And that bothers you, WHY? You people need to have your coffee BEFORE posting. Way too many cranky people on C-D.

Just because it's old doesn't mean it won't be beneficial to someone, besides if they didn't want old threads resurrected they should close them.

Hope you have a good day, STT.
