We would rather move, but despite the circumstances, the real estate will charge us lease break fees and no doubt, stuff around finding new tenants in order to keep collecting un-necessary rent from us. They have been far from helpful or supportive of the situation.

The owner having no money will no doubt mean nothing will be fixed and a hearing will need to be heard. We've been told that she will need to pay compensation if we claim, this may mean we will get reduced weekly rent to make that monetary value up (and she won't get her usual rent income), the other option is, our rent will be paid into a special account held by vcat and she won't get a cent until all issues are fixed to OUR standards.

I can't see it being a quick process. I'm concerned about the bank for closing on the home as well, the inspector said should that happen, we will be served a notice to vacate within 28 days

Im very stressed out, I have so many other issues going on, on top of this too
