All over America there are places that are cheap compared to what many experience. Living where the fear of eviction hangs over a persons head when they don't have to work & could qualify for aid doesn't seem logical to me..

BTW this is another place in America where for me homes are dirt cheap.

And this one is cute for only $45,000. But, what does this mean, that the buyer has to find a way to throw the occupant out? {{Buyer will be responsible for obtaining possession of the property upon closing.}}

I'm not trying to hijack this thread about Patnono's concern. This is about looking for and finding solutions to living within one's ability to pay for a home or decent place to live.

@Knight , I doubt Patnono has the money to buy a house, even a cheap $39,000 one. And I doubt she's serious about finding a solution to her problem. Just read her first posts two years ago and it sounds like a broken record, same problem and same complaints.

Nice looking place and fairly reasonable. Patnono says that she filed bankruptcy for medical reasons and fears being rejected for that reason. She won't say how long ago that was (I think BR's stay on your record for 7 years?). She could also share a place with a roommate whose name only is on the lease. She finds fault with every advise or suggestion she receives for a problem that has been ongoing for TWO YEARS. Your advise/suggestion will also surely fall on deaf ears. Don't feel bad.
 
IMHO, and if I were in her shoes, I would certainly NOT be planning to stay in CA. Rent will keep going up there and it's probably only a matter of time until she'd get priced out, anyway.

I believe a new landlord would be more interested in her record of 20 years of living in the same place without any issues than in a bankruptcy. And, of course, it makes a lot of difference how old that bankruptcy actually is. In any event, unless it was over 20 years ago, it hasn't affected her ability to keep up with her rent.

My best advice is to get the heck out of CA and find a cheaper state to live in and do some serious looking and seriously test the waters online and by phone before it is too late. CA just isn't the place to be if you're on a fixed income.

Also, the first thing she should do is ask the new landlord what his plans are and if and by how much he plans to raise the rent.

I don't believe they'd do that, they would expect me pay the rent increase that's usually how it works? My rent already alittle over $1600, can't afford any more. My health isn't good, Diabetes etc. I tried working at a couple of places, couldn't too physically demanding

Hey Pat. Iā€™m with Butterfly , Gary and all the others who suggest leaving the state altogether. You are paying through the nose $1600 for rent when you only get $1,000 in social security.

There are plenty of cheaper places where you could get your own room and have money left over for food and expenses. I think you need to be more sensible about the choices you make and , more importantly perhaps, .... follow though.

I totally agree, I make up the difference with my retirement savings, it goes Fast. The hold back is it's hard with a bankruptcy over your headšŸ˜–. I've been looking, some won't even accept co-signers šŸ˜–. I'll keep trying, I have no choice. Thanks
 
If youā€™ve lived where you currently do for 20 years then why not get a signed reference letter from them proving that even though you had a bankruptcy, you still paid your rent.

Iā€™d start treating this like a resume application almost. As you prepare putting it together it ā€˜shouldā€™ help build up your confidence some.

Good luck Patā¤ļø

That's a good idea? What they did which I think was Evil? Is that they raised everyone's rent knowing that they were selling the property šŸ˜–. So I'm sure the owners will want to raise the rent again because they will be aquiring a new mortgage, I think she's selling is because rent control is kicking in next month, they won't be able to raise the rents like theyve been doing. Thanks for the support
 
Who knows why sheā€™s raising the rent. Itā€™s already too high so I wouldnā€™t even waste any more time on it. In fact, if what you are doing isnā€™t getting the results you want then drop it.

Plan your goal, focus and work towards it
Youā€™ve had some great ideas offered here.
Itā€™s a good group.

Your Right, I just can't understand how people can treat others like that? I'm about helping and caring about other's.
 
Sound like a sad story, I hope you find a home soon you might wanna search on the internet and facebook too for a rental place or an agency for seniors that can help?

Thank you, I was given good ideas from some who have written. There's got to be something out there? I saw a story about seniors who don't have enough to eat broke my heart, IAM grateful for what I have, don't want to end up like them.

Probably they are facing higher costs themselves, property taxes, etc. Everything is going up everywhere. Maybe they're just trying to make ends meet like everyone else is. People can't afford to run a rental property if it isn't profitable.
 
Folks, Pat routinely asks for advice, in here, and then ignores it, as she posts asking for advice on similar matters a few months later. I believe she's trolling.

Also, what's with the repetitive, annoying ending of simple declarative sentences with a "?" ?
