I am one of the buyers who contacted you to buy some of the house items you was selling last Friday, I called you once I saw your add trying to reserve some items for me that I was seriously going to buy but you said "sorry, first come, first serve", I respected that and woke up early on my weekend to be there first to buy those items, I got shocked when you told me that I will have to BID for those items, WT...., why you didn't say that in your add or not even on the phone when I called you?
"your word is your bond", Yeah it is nice to expect that from others but you need to follow it yourself first, I follow it myself cause I try to be respected by others.
I am sorry for you as being deceived by the landlord.
Just an advice for all of you, if I was on your position I wouldn't tell the landlord I am leaving, I would close my bank account and leave the country and call him later tell him to get his apartment back and the keys under the front door carpet. bye bye... this is what they deserve to be treated and he wont be able to sue you cause it will cost him more.
