The landlord does not honor a verbal agreement that we had in order to cancel the lease if I found a place to purchase, he does not want me to be released signing a novation agrement, and when prospective tenants that I find to take over applied wit him he rejected them making excuses.
He posted an ad for way more that I am paying right now, so obviously he wants to get more money for the unit, and in case no one wants it, then he wants me to be responsible for the new tenant until the original lease runs out. I just found that the place has a FHA mortgage for 6 months (only for primary residences not investment, and he lives two blocks away), what should I do? I do not want to get anybody involved with this crook? should I tell him that if he does not sign a novation we will go to court
