Any real estate lawyers here?

I highly doubt you can go after him for what the tenants did or didn't do to your home. You can try it but I suspect you will be told by a judge to go after the tenants.

As for your fees to him...you owe him. He found you a tenant and you chose not to accept that tenant. He did the work. He gets paid. Colorado real estate law. He has the *option* to not charge you but there is nothing that requires him to let you off the hook.

I assumed there was nothing to go on for the tenant stuff. It was a shot in the dark. I also understand that legally, he owes me nothing back for the cost of new tenants. It's purely a reputation investment for him at this point.

I was more curious as to the difference in rent. What the current lease if for versus what I gave him written authorization to drop it down to? Since we're going strictly on what's legal and in writing at this point.

As I understand...you found the current renters. Yet you are upset with him for what your renters are paying? Why would he be responsible for what they are paying? Even if it isn't on paper you okd the price.

I'm just upset that he's going back on his word. That's all. Since we're playing the "only what's on paper counts" game, I figured I'd join in. It does say in the contract that no verbal agreements are to be honored. EVERYTHING has to be in writing.

Not to mention, the fact that he's been ignoring my calls/emails since this came up. He never gave me a heads up that he decided to change his mind and just tried to slip it in there. So I'm just a little tired of the games at this point. I understand that legally, he did nothing wrong. But he's made a cool 10k off me in the past 6 months and $500 is a drop in the bucket to keep our relationship in good standing, IMO.
