If you as the LL, feel signing ANY documents in this situation are not in your best interests, then simply don't sign them. There is no law that I know of, anywhere in the country, that says you have to sign them, or even send them back. You have every right to put down on their docs, any "decent" comments you want to. Those docs that you allude to, are standard forms sent to thousands of LLs every day. Many of them never get sent back to the lenders. Most of the time, not receiving docs, does not stop the lender from giving the T a loan. As I said in my earlier post to you, if a T buys a home, you will not stop them from moving out. You can only total up costs against the T after they are out, and take them to court. Remember, at this point, they have not broken your lease yet. That "breakage" is still down the road yet. Assuming they pay April's rent, then there is only 4 months left before the end of the lease. Heck, it's even possible that the lender will require your T to pay off the rest of the lease, before they will make the loan. Just as that lender is asking you for info and a signature, YOU can also write a nicely worded letter back to that lender, letting them know the T has a lease obligation to you until XXXX. There is nothing wrong in trying to protect YOUR interests any way possible. And by the way, this same situation happened to me about 25 years ago. I took the former T to court and won. Judges don't like a T skipping out on their legal obligations to a LL, just to "better" themselves in life by buying a home.
