In August 2008, my A/C died and I called the landlords to
come fix it. They told me to pay for it and they'd
reimburse me. After that, they shut down their phone
numbers and did not call me for over 3 months. Meanwhile,
I stopped paying rent because I feared they were
foreclosing since they're upside down on their mortgage.
Then in December 2008, they demanded all unpaid rents. The
excuse for not returning our call is that one landlord was
out of the country. We made two rent payments in December,
but as of today, we still owe two months rent. Today, I
received a 3-day notice to pay rent or quit. I also
learned that they have never paid property taxes and they
also stopped paying the homeowner's insurance. I also
suspect that they are in default on their mortgage;
although no notice of default has been recorded at our
county yet. My question is, after the landlord stopped
calling me for 3 months and just left me without a clue as
to what their intentions with the property is, do they have
the right to demand all payments? Can they evict me? Do I
have any recourse?
