Hi, can an unhappy buyer under contract deliberately "throw" the board interview and get his full deposit back?

What if the buyer just refuses to provide financial documents? What if he is deliberately nasty?

This is not a hypothetical question, unfortunately....

Sure:

1) Don't shower for a few days before going for the interview
2) Ask about having 5 dogs in apt
3) Tell them about your complex renovation plans
4) Tell them that you are having financial difficulties

Tell them you plan to run a business from your apt. And if you really want out, tell them you plan to run an escort business.

clearly this thread will take a comical path

bring a picture of your pet monkey

how about just telling them your SE name is BASSPLAYER

AR - I think you're right. But what can the seller do? Try to have a quiet conversation with a board member? If the buyer really tries to torpedo the interview, the board might go along to avoid having a possibly contentious owner move in.

Ask if there are any rules against displaying satanic symbols outside your door and windows.

ll retort in his signature style

haha!! nice1

I dont know..depending who lives there, an escort business may be welcome

When they ask about charitable endeavors, you can tell them of all the time and money that you donate to white supremacy causes.

Unless the deposit is really substantial $$, the attorneys for buyer and seller could get more out of that fight than the seller.

If the seller learns the buyer acted in bad faith to void the contract, the buyer will likely find himself in litigation attempting to get the deposit released from escrow. A buyer does not have the right to deliberately attempt to scuttle a board interview. Failure to provided financials is also bad faith. You signed a contract and the law is not an ass about what that means.

If you truly want out, you must confer with your attorney about lawful means of doing so. You risk losing your deposit and this is not something to come up with creative solutions for on your own.

It would be really impossible to prove, unless they are deliberately being obvious about it. Short of signing a statement ( and why would they do that?), they can just appear slightly aggressive and unhinged, with annoying hobbies.

Ok, if we're ready going down the serious route... Talk to each other. Compromise! Anyone who does not negotiate in good faith will pay the price one way or another. The universe is just.

The universe is just? What kind of malarkey is that? The universe doesn't give a shit about coop agreements, that much is clear.

If you only look at a small area, it's just ice and dust particles...

This has been discussed in the past and then there seemed to be a consensus around what Kyle is saying - if the sellers figure it out, they'll keep your money.

You could always ask about running for the board, say how involved you've always been in the past and how you like to "shake things up."

"How can the universe be just when you have 10% unemployment"

Actually, if we use the same formula today that we used in the '30s to determine 25% unemployment during the Great Depression, today's unemployment rate would be closer to 22%.

Today's "unemployment" rate calculation -- which ignores those people who are out of work but no longer collecting unemployment -- is a holdover from the '70s, when we changed the formula to make the Carter administration look good during HIS recession.

The measure of employment in the US today is not comparable to other countries or other decades. It used to make me laugh when the USA #1 set would say that the low unemployment figure showed the superiority of a purest capitalistic system, when measuring apples to apples it was comparable to France, this haven of Socialists.

Bring Harvey, your invisible pet rabbit.

sure, throw the interview...
and while you are doing that think about the next time you are someone you know is looking for a job, finds one and is excited and looking forward to the future. but what you don't know is the employer has changed his mind and rather then do the decent thing and tell you they have had a change of heart they make your life a living hell so you will quit..
best of luck!!!!!

>>Today's "unemployment" rate calculation -- which ignores those people who are out of work but no >>longer collecting unemployment

Not to threadjack but this is 100% incorrect. The unemployment rate has nothing to do with whether or not you are collecting unemployment. It's strictly determined by a survey.
