I have actually seen that post before and laughed after reading it. The grammar/spelling wasn't stellar. Is the husband in the Army? I wonder if I know who they are, because my husband came home telling me about a guy in his company getting evicted. They had terrible money problems and went to court last week or the week before for something. Gotta watch out, people are craaaaazy! 

If they didn't lie and are really in the Army, I'd say that since you have his name it would not hurt to let him Chain of Command know. First, if he's smoking drugs he needs to get the heck out of the force. Next, the Army is giving him money to pay his rent every month so not paying is not an option. They may or may not help you get your money back, but at least they will find out why he hasn't paid and it will keep a dirtbag from scamming someone else. Blessings to you and I pray you find somewhere stable to lay your head at night. 

I've taken the appropriate measures as with all things the Army and law enforcement don't always move fast enough. I just do not want them to scam anyone else so I was warning everyone! They really have no morals. His unit said he's being separated from the Army so that told me they aren't going to do anything about it. I think they are just ready to kick him out and don't want to delay the process! As far as their money i'd like to know too because where did the money I paid for rent go??? I'm glad I'm out of there I will definitely not sublease from anyone ever again! 

Their names are Ashley and Demetrious Foster. That 916-667 number on the posting is her actual number. Like I said just Beware of them. He is in First Engineers at Ft Riley. His unit knows him very well he's the "bad Apple" Good Old Private Foster as his unit reffered to him. 

I dunno. That ad had me hooked after the "lolz". 

One more thing (lol): we live in a different world now than we lived in just 15 years ago. Whether you're renting a room or a home, you should check to see if either the apartment owner is facing eviction, or if the homeowner is facing foreclosure. In most states, foreclosure motions are public documents so you can get that information yourself.

As far as renting a room from an apartment--you're already doing that at your own risk because very few apartments will allow subleting; if the apartment manager finds out they can legally kick you out.

If you go to an apartment manager in advance and ask if your potential sublet leasers are current on their rent, the apartment manager will probably tell you straightaway they aren't allowed to sublet; so if you have any doubt whether the room you're renting is legitimate, draw up something before you hand over your money that states they certify that they are current on their rent and in no danger of eviction--or the agreement will be forfeited immediately with no obligation to legally honor the length of the lease, and that you will not pay rent and be given 30 days to find somewhere else to live. It will cover you.

The reason I just thought of this is that we're buying another home, and after doing a lot of research I found that there are people out there selling and leasing homes they don't even own. About 3 months ago, a couple in Florida just got 3 years in jail for breaking in these high-end condos in Miami, changing the locks, getting the window they used to break in fixed, and then renting them out for big money--some for $4000 a month! Imagine living comfortably for that much money and then having the police knock on your door to let you know you're in a stolen property. Some people are just inherent dirtbags. 

BTW its spelled "Ignorant" 

Hahaha I was thinking the same thing Garbage. I figured frustration got the best of them.
