We made our payments to secure a unit in mid-August. The Unit that was described to us had my wife very excited, but it wouldn’t be available until October 8th. We officially sold our home 09/13 and the buyer agreed we could stay in our home (rent free no less) until our unit was ready. The new owner already had renters waiting on us to move that generously gave us the first week into their rented month.
We started preparing change of address/service transfers so there would be a smooth
...transition without interruptions as well as scheduling movers. On Oct 1st we are informed the unit we are preparing to move into is not going to be available as the tenants are not leaving. Yes, we have sold our home with the understanding we had a place to go to find out we don’t, seven days before we are due to be out.
The unit described to my wife was a 2nd story that’s just like the demo you will see with windows facing the courtyard, she was ecstatic. I personally didn’t want the place, could do way better for those prices, this was for her. What we would have been stuck with is the opposite, very back corner, ground floor with a great view of a dirt hill and tree trunks. Upon hearing this I knew this was going to be a disaster, so I told them it’s up to her I don’t care. Having grown up in military housing I’m used to dealing with what you get. I’m personally not appreciating what is feeling like a bait and switch and knowing you have sold your house what options do you have anyway vibe.
Checking in, she’s in tears and said it’s dark has no view at all and cats have urinated everywhere from the previous occupant (they haven’t had a chance to clean to their defense) My wife met with them twice to work out compensations, but she still seemed torn and just grossly disappointed. I pulled the plug on this fiasco. If the core process of tenant occupancy can’t be facilitated how can you trust anything to be followed through with any accuracy. I could only imagine what would have happened if this happened to someone out of state or worse there was no other unit available.
