A lil puzzled right now. I just rented a condo in Irvine. Move in date is today, I got my keys and everything but i havent heard from my landlord/agent.

Pretty much this what went down.

We met up with the guy, Jason Stone from Captive Options Property Management Services, at the Condo location in Irvine, Ca. Just too look at the place. Wife liked it and we had the cash ($500) and our photo I.D copied. He said they're very lenient about credit history but big on work history. Not a problem with us.

So we gave the guy $500 and he emailed us the necessary paper works to be printed, filled out and signed by my spouse and I. He made a WRITTEN receipt stating all the necessary stuff, down payment, monthly..etc.

The next day, I met up with him to give him the papers along with the 1st month rent of $1200 in Cashiers Check form via Chase Bank. He was insisting to make it payable to CASH but i went ahead and put it under the company.

I was kinda sketchy first because when he made a the written receipt, I asked if he has a card or maybe his DL to jot it down on the paper as well. He said no

So onto the move. He contacted stating that a carpet crew is coming to clean the carpet but they never showed. I've been trying to call the guy and email and text form. Anyway i can record our convo.

Now i've been reading some SCAMS ONLINE all night, and i have not came across anything like my situation. Pretty much all the once i've read are all RENTERS/LANDLORDS being scammed by the FUTURE TENANT. Kind of like what you see when you post FS on CL, they ask you YOUR info shit like that.

My situation is different from that.

Any inputs? How i should go about this? If the place that i rented is foreclose what will happen to my family, do we get kicked out? Even if we have a leasing agreement of 12 months?

Can a cashiers check be cashed out if it's under some bogus company?

I guess all i can do is hope for the best. =/
