I found one of the best roommates in the world from www.roommates.com \n\nKeep in mind the more info you list the better. That way you will only get serious people that are truly interested. We also had pictures posted and a quick little biography of me and my then fiance (now husband)... I like to cook, he's a computer genius, we'd like a roomie we could share an occational pizza with, must like cats, room is 12x14, has it's own bathroom, high ceilings, furnished is you don't have furniture,.... etc....\n\nI'm dead serious. He's still our friend and after we left the apartment we even invited him and his fiance to our wedding.\n\nGive it a try, but keep an open mind. We found him after 2 weeks.

The condo association should provide you with a copy. I'm surprised you bought a condo without having a set of the rules in hand. The next surprise may be yours.

I don't know.  Ask your Condo Association President what's going on and be sure you attend the next meeting so you can bring your issue up for full discussion.  A lot of others are probably wondering the same thing.  I don't think it's a good idea to just stop anything.  If you do, you might end up being charged late fees or penalties.  Also, check that big binder that you got when you bought the place.

When you bankrupt, it shows poor history on paying bills. As a result, the owner of the complex does not want to take the risk. In many situations, you can get around this if you place a large deposit down. If you cannot do this, then the best bet is to look for a roommate. If this still does not fit your desire, then keep looking. There might be someone out there that will be willing to give you a try.

I would check on that Lien before I do anything else.  And, yes, I would be concerned if I were the condo association....but if you show them that you are trying to clear the lien up that would be a good faith try.\n\nGood luck.

You simply need to look beyond the few places you're looking.  Not all landlords check credit.  You might try answering ads in the paper.  Sometimes, individual property owners who own just a single condo or house will be willing to rent out their property without a credit check.

Its totally up to the both of you mike,renting a place IS dead money,you are correct,its a fact--a mortgage though is a millstone around the neck--another fact,so really,you're fecked if you do,you're fecked if you dont,fecked if i know the answer to that one!!Then you have the patter of tiny feet to consider in the future,and everyone knows how costly those little feckers are...very!! Wish you all the best in whatever you decide mike,i know its not easy-decisions,decisions,decisions:-/

The landlord/property manager wants three things of a resident: 1) pay the rent 2) treat the apartment well 3) be a good neighbor.  Sometimes I have thought someone could do all three but had a credit problem. We solved it by getting a co-signer who had beautiful credit or by making additional deposits. Sometimes I also promised to turn in a good credit report if they paid as agreed. Good landlords and good residents deserve each other.\n\nLeigh \nhttp://www.LeighMaynard.com

Keep applying for apartments from local landlords, not big apt complexes.  Hopefully u will eventually find a rookie landlord who doesnt check credit :)\n\nGood luck!

First talk to a mortgage broker and see for how much you qualify for.\n\nWith that amount in mind search for the neigborhoods and locate several homes.\n\nWhen you decide on the house have it inspected by a certified inspector.\n\nIf you are working with a realestate agent they will help you make an offer.\n\nBest of luck

I like the answer above.  To add to it, maybe look for a roommate situation.  Sharing costs is definitely a great way to have a nice place, but pay less for it.

If you can't come up with all the mortgage you are left with no other options. If you and him are both on the title...you have to change that and get only your name on it if you will be the only one paying for it....sorry......good luck... :(

Look up your State Housing Authority. They are the ones that can help you.

Talk to the apartment managers...they can help a lot...call the utilitiy companies...they can give you rough estimates

There must be a dept of housing or something like that either locally or at the state level you can call and find out.  Call up your local govt offices and start asking questions and get ready to deal with people who are clueless that transfer you from person to person.\n\nWith that being said your landlord is a prick, obviously.
