The address: 3306 Lagoon Ave Atwater,CA 95301 (Merced County) The problem: We JUST moved in on the 1st of August. We were told that the owner is trying to 'save' his house, that it wasn't in foreclosure, he was still making payments. Well, since day one, the neighbors have been coming by telling us that the house is for sale, it's the bank's, it's in foreclosure, this and that. So, today I went down to the county recorder's office to check the owner, and it matched was was told to me (the lady that rented the home out to us isnt the owner, but is related to him). Then we were sent to the tax collector (or somesort) to make sure that they've been paying their taxes on the house, and they told us that they have been. Then they sent us somewhere else where they checked if the owner has been making his payments, and everything came out positive. But, I'm worried because I tried to look up the address online, to see if it was in foreclosure or for sale, ANYTHING, but nothing comes up. I called the landlord, but it goes straight to voicemail. I've also left a message for tenants together. I dont know where else to check. Some of the people that came by to "warn us" about the landlord cheating us out of our money told us that the owner hasnt been paying for over a year and that it is online on the foreclosure list. I don't know what to do anymore. We haven't even finished moving out of our previous home yet and it loooks like we're going to have to move out already. We paid first and last month's rent, signed a contract, but I'm afraid of getting kicked out without enough time. I don't know where to look anymore or what to do. I don't know what to believe, if anyone out there can help, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks... Read More »
