I lived in an apartment and paid my rent on time every month for 8 years. The landlord sold the property and the new owners gave all the tenents notice that they had to move out. I moved into a new apartment and everything was fine for 8 months. Then I needed emergancy surgery for appedicitis. I had complications after surgery and could no longer work. The amount the state was willing to pay me for dissability was insufficient to pay my rent and still be able to eat not to mention covering the medical bills. I tried to work it out with my landlord. I told them I would move out immediatly and that they could keep my 2 months security. then i would only owe 2 monthes rent. I asked if i could pay the 2 monthes in half payments over 4 months that way the landlord would not lose any money. They laughed at me said they would not make paymet agreements took my security and took me to court where a payment "agreement" was set up. Now I am healthy and because of them i can not get an apartment with out a cosigner and my reputation is ruined. Good people with excellent payment histories get sick sometimes and these things should not affect them forever
