Renting nightmare continues... need your help:

At the end of it all, it sounds like the realtors problem, to be quite honest.

Should be the realtor's problem.

In reality it is the renter's problem.

1. Few months ago, we moved into a place that used a realtor (with us paying her fee, which is $$).

2. The landlord is in west coast, so we had to sign the lease in turns over mail.

3. We signed what we understood as the final version of the lease and the realtor mailed it to the landlord- waiting for LL's sig.

4. We received the lease back from the realtor and moved in. All was seemingly good.

Now the realtor royally fvcked it up between #3 & #4. When the landlord received our signed lease, she made BUNCH of changes, signed it herself and sent it back for our review.

That never got back to us. The realtor just gave us the first copy. What appeared as LL's signature was just realtor's crappy handwriting print of LL's name (pending real signature).

So this new revised copy crossed out no pets are allowed. WTF, the only reason we moved in was because pets were allowed.

Now LL can grab us by the balls as she has OUR signed copy of the lease which we never agreed to after her corrections.

What to do next?
1. Call up the realtor and have them correct it.

2. Reach out to LL about this situation.

The realtor is in hot water long as you have a copy of the first lease. Forgery!

Sorry for crappy grammar. I meant no longer pets are allowed.

That makes more sense. "ding!" sarcometer

Contract was modified without your consent, you don't have a valid lease. I would try to work it out directly with the LL and leave the either shady or incompetent realtor out of it.
