Las Vegas House Rentals – On 4-16-09, I signed a 1yr rental agreement to a townhouse in Las Vegas, NV. The property manager required $700 deposit, $750 1st month. The house was in move-in condition & he allowed my family & I to start taken our things over there before 5-1(day the lease begins.) During this time, I made arrangements to have the utilities/mail switched over. However, the Water Co. stated that there is a bill past due since 11-2007 & they will not switch service until paid. Also, we had to get a new mail lock due to the previous tenants taking it. I tried to contact the Prop.Mang., left multiple messages, no return call in 3 days. I called him from a private # & surprise, he answered. I asked him about the water/mail, he said that the water bill is due to the previous owner, Amer.Equity, not paying & that his Co., RS Investment, bought the home so he will have “a talk” w/the water co. Also, he said he will get around to fixing the mail box.

I was worried something is going on, so I did a search, the address on the lease for the rental co. is bogus, the County Assesor’s office shows, filing activity recent in the last 4 months. Here is what it says(most recent 1st)….

Is he telling the truth about his Co. RS Invest. being the new owners? I thought that a Trustee Sale was a certified notice of an intent to auction in the next 14days?

Am I about to be kicked out? I just gave this guy $1450? If anyone can help me, please!!!!
