Tired and drained....

I SO TIRED!!!!!!

and drained too.

Yesterday recieve a call from my agent. That stupid landlord wants to demand me to pay for my rent for dec.

I still have 2 month rent with him... What rights does he has to make me pay??? Furthermore I heard from the agent that sold his house that he will not be paying me my desposit.

Why should I throw my $$ away???

Agent is telling me to pay him so he can keep quiet, but who is going to give me my desposit back if the stupid owner does not pay me??

Bro was asking me if that stupid owner will make trouble for us if i don't pay...

Darn... worst case I will call police. See who is right!
