What is the name of your state? Ohio
My husband bought a house a few years ago with a partner. The house came empty In Nov and the partner said he wanted to sell. The after several weeks he said no, he decided he wanted to rent it. They put new carpet, painted it etc and got it ready for rental. Ran an ad in the paper and tooks several applications which had personal information along with ss numbers for background checks. His partner called and said we have had such a response I think we under priced the house. Someone offered him more money on the month along with a large deposit. My husband felt this was totally wrong after advertising it for a certain amount then pit the applicants against one another and said NO> Well the partner and him had harsh words about it and now we recieve a letter saying again he wants out and wants to sell. He gave us 2 options, buy his half, or put it on the market. We really don't want to sell it but can't he get in trouble for taking personal info and ss from people had it up for rental and now won't rent it wants to sell? Also taxes are due and he owes us money on repairs. My husband always kept the books. What is a fair way to handle this and what are our rights? Again can we be in trouble for this with fairhousing not renting it? This is a sad thing to take peoples info and ss numbers and then so, sorry its not for rent any longer its up for sell OOMG We think this is so wrong to do people this way.
