House we rented a week ago was rented out from underneath us...

[cynatnite]

Signed a lease and wrote a check. Still had to wait a week before moving in. We sold our stove (less than a year old) and our portable dishwasher (two years old).

No phone call or anything. Just a letter with my check attached. House was rented to someone else. We think someone handed over cash in hand which took priority over my check. It was stamped 'for deposit only', too.

We have until the first of the month to find another place to live and so far only one place that might be acceptable for us. It's in a trailer court on the other side of town. I really don't want it, but we might not have a choice, but to take it.

I've gone through the classifieds and most places are either rented or my calls aren't returned after leaving messages.

Needless to say...I'm fucking depressed. :cry:
