Posted by matt griffin on April 28, 2008 at 12:20 AM In Reply to: Re: CA & Federal proscriptions against rent skimming... posted by DeeCA on March 27, 2008 at 9:27 PM :Dear Sir, A quick question. I own a property management company that operates in Texas. One of our clients is a Florida resident who owned 21 rental condos in Houston, TX. My company leased and managed the properties for this fellow for approx 2 years. We have forwarded rents to the property owner every month for the referenced 2 years including March of 2008. On April 1st all 21 units were foreclosed by the homeowner's association associated with the complex where the condos are located. We are not sure, but presume that the owner's first mortgage is in arrears and will be foreclosed shortly. My question is simply this: Since the former owner received rent and cashed our checks during a period when he clearly knew a foreclosure had been posted, etc. is he guilty under either federal, Texas or Florida statutes of rent skimming?
