Need a place to live in DALLAS!!! HELP :(

Moved to Dallas last December and decided to rent for a year since we weren't probably staying here much longer. So I prepaid my rent for the entire year. Turns out my "landlord" never paid any of the mortgage payments so it's being auctioned off tomorrow morning at the courthouse.

Don't want to buy it for the following reasons:
1. Probably moving back to Midland and will buy a house there
2. Also buying a lot and starting to build our "dreamhome"
3. Buying a completely separate house for a family member
4. That's too many loans IMHO

So does anybody have or know of a "nice" place to rent until December close to town? (inside 635 - as close to the park cities as possible) Pretty Please

I could care less about the money I've lost - just want to have a safe place for my wife and I to live through the end of the year. Worst case sceanrio could send all our furniture and cars (gasp) to storage

Of course I would pay appropriately - not looking for freebies

 

i think we're game for anything.... our biggest obstacle is convincing someone to do a 4mos lease. i was hoping someone on the off chance may have a house that is empty. we own a 3000sq ft home in West U in Houston that is empty right now and was hoping I could find the equivalent here.

 

i'm guessing he's referring to Addison...

new game plan....actually took a couple of hours off of work and went down to the public auction. that's a different type of person that hangs out there. alot of gum smacking, bubble blowing, talking on cell phones right in front of the auctioneer talking about getting wasted and trying to bang some chick - just no common courtesy. felt like i was amidst a bunch of vultures trying to capitalize on other's misfortune. guess if it's not them - it's the bank

anyways, after a lengthy conversation with my family's counsel, we've decided to be an ass and make them "evict" me. i'm still going to pay my monthly rent but to the bank's trustee instead of my old landlord. hopefully by the time they legally evict me, it'll be time to move anyways. there is also a case law study indicating that if the bank (after a foreclosure) accepts and deposits a rent check, it implies acceptance of the previous owner's lease - thus we get to stay without moving

i really hate to be that type of person but i'm left with no other option since i've been screwed

Imagine what an easy place this would be to live in if everybody were forthright and honest - guess we wouldn't have any attorneys or car dealers then
