Mrs. Big Dick McGee
I have a friend that was looking for a new place, her apt. was very nice but she wanted something a little more spacious. I recommended a condo that was for rent in my development and she thought that was a great idea. So I helped her get in touch with the leasing agent and he told her that the condo for rent was in poor condition but that his parents lived in the development and would be renting their condo out in mid June if she wanted to wait.

My friend checked out this guy's parents condo and decided it was great and she would wait until mid June to move...This was back in March mind you. So my friend was keeping in touch with this dude, making sure plans were on track but he was hard to a hold of and when she did he was always reassuring her that everything was going great and things would be ready for her to move in JulyThat was a good thing as she'd already given her current landlord notice and her place had been rented for July 1.

The last week of May my friend was getting antsy about not hearing from this agent so she made a visit to his parent's house to see how things were coming along. The agent just so happened to be there and told her at that time that gee, his cousin is pregnant and so his parents are going to rent to her because you know, family first and all of that. My friend was a little peeved but the agent promised that the other condo would be repaired and ready to rent by her July 1 deadline.

As each week passed my friend found it harder and harder to get a hold of this agent but when she did get a hold of him or he called her back he assured and reassured her that the condo would be repaired and not to worry, it'd be ready for her to move into July 1. I was able to update her and let her know that nothing was being done to the condo as I can see it outside my back patio and though my friend worried the agent kept assuring her everything was on schedule and the condo would be ready.

Last week my friend called the agent and said specifically, "I'm afraid I'm going to be homeless in a week..." To which the agent replied, "I would never let that happen, don't worry." And right up until Wednesday of this week the agent was assuring her the place was going to be ready for her July 1 move. The place needed a lot of work, I saw it when the last tenant moved out so I could not figure out how in 4 days that dump was going to habitable but then I've seen Extreme Home Make Over and if they can build a house in a week maybe a crew could get that place done.

At 10:00AM on Thursday June 28, just two days before my friend was supposed to move she got a message on her cell phone. The agent very nonchalantly informed my friend that gee, fixing the water heater was going to be a problem and nowlegally he couldn't rent to her. The dickweed bottom feeder has known for months my friend wanted the place and had months to take care of the water heater and did NOTHING. Although my friend is sorry she didn't follow her gut weeks earlier the agent was so sincere in his assurences.

So now I'm asking. Should she sue? Can she sue? Should I post his name and E-mail address and let the trolls have a field day? I mean, the girl didn't HAVE to move, her landlords begged her not to move but her mind was made up and she was sure she'd have some place to live come July 1. She bought a few more days from the incoming tenants and is nowfrantically looking for a place but she and her three kids may end up on my couch for a few days. It so sucks for her.
 
^^While giving blow jobs and having anal sex may be how you solve your problems dog, people who are not gay male prostitutes handle things a bit differently.
 
Doe she have any proof she had a contract with this agent? If so, she might want to sue for performance - i.e., he has to rent her a condo. Did she give him a security deposit and/or rent in advance? If so, she can sue for monetary damages for having to lay out more cash for a place to stay - such as a hotel while she looks for a new place to rent. If she had nothing but an agreement she can't proove, and no security or rent paid up front, then there may be nothing she can do but talk to the leasing agent's boss and hope he will get fired, then move on. She might check her credit report to see if the leasing agent ran a credit check on her. If he did, it would go a long way to show she had some sort of arrangement that she acted in good faith on - which caused her to become homeless at this point. The agent may be liable for a reasonable difference between what she would have paid for the condo and what she will have to pay for a place to stay now. In other words, she needs to seek the advice and possible representation of an attorney and ask that part of her damages be the attorney's fees.
 
^^Good advice and that's what I thought. My friend doesn't have the money to hire an attorney but I told her she could take him to small claims. This guy's parents ran a credit check and as matter of fact I told her that she should get a copy as proof. I also told my friend to get a copy of her phone records so she could prove that she called him multiple times over the last few months. I think she'll be successful in small claims because the kicker is, she didn't have to move, she only put in her 30 day notice because this guy assured her she'd have a place to live.

On a revenge note, I've had gay porn sent to his house and office (I found his house by pure luck...pure, clever luck.) and I have a friend in Las Vegas sending his wife confessions of their "affair"...I also told my friend that she should write the whole story out and give it to everyone in the community because as I understand it this guy wants to manage our H.O.A. and that just ain't gonna happen.

Why didn't she sign a lease before she gave notice at her existing place?

You know, the guy was so convincing and so assuring that I don't think it even crossed her mind that it wouldn't come through. I'm sure this jackass believes that he can't be touched but a verbal agreement is still an agreement and she has a message from him indicating that that is indeed what they had.
 
In Pennsylvania, we have what is called a "statute of Frauds" regarding real estate in which rentals is included. All Real Estate transactions MUST be in writing to be valid.

The word "verbal" stems from the root Latin "verba" which means "to write". What your friend had with the agent was a spoken agreement.
 
Actually "verbal" in this case is being used by the definition in the English Oxford dictionary which is spoken rather and written. I have no idea if a verbal agreement will hold up in court but I say she might as well try. The worst that can happen is she loses her $27.00 filing fee.
 
Usage Note: Verbal has been used since the 16th century to refer to spoken, as opposed to written, communication, and the usage cannot be considered incorrect. But because verbal may also mean "by linguistic means," it may be ambiguous in some contexts. Thus the phrase modern technologies for verbal communication may refer only to devices such as radio, the telephone, and the loudspeaker, or it may refer to devices such as the telegraph, the teletype, and the fax machine. In such contexts it may be clearer to use the word oral to convey the narrower sense of communication by spoken means.
 
They also had the forms in Spanish and Chinese but I didn't think you needed them.

I understand Spanish...but Chinese??
