Open Question: I owned a home and my wife owned a home before we were married. ?

here in Los Angeles. very nicely furnished, 2 bed, 3 bath, plus garage townhouse for $1100 / month (~100 for util).

question: Are these actions normal from my potential landlord?
(A) He wants me to move in 2 weeks. I can only move in until 4. he says lets compromise and make it 3. but that'd mean i'd be paying a week's salary for *both* my current place and their place! I told him this, but he said it's b/c of their mortgage and doesn't want to lose out on the "rental time." (e.g. a week goes by without cash coming in).
(B) Since it's their townhouse, he and his fiancee reserve the right to crash the house. Ok no problem with that. however, when I ask him to at least tell me *when* they will visit, he remarks, "Well, it's our house. Why should we give you a head's up?"

Does this sound fishy? sounds too good to be true for me, and i want to e-mail and withdraw. haven't paid or signed anything, so hopefully that's ok too?

THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE!!!H i think your (my) intuition is correct.It sounded too good to be true. The apartment was fully furnished without any clothes removed. Seems kinda sad they were going to trick me, since her husband used to work at the university i now teach at.

Resolved Question: Does this sound odd to you?

A potential landlord (with an awesome rental) answered the following to my questions:

(A) "I don't see why I have to call ahead of time if I want to visit. It's still my townhouse, although you are just privately renting one room." (note they are not in the state 90% of the time).
(B) The later you move in, the less $$$ i get from paying the mortgage ...so please understand if I ask you to move in a week before the end date of your other contract. (so for a week i have to pay rent at two places).

Does this sound fishy to you?

Open Question: I owned a home and my wife owned a home before we were married. ?

We have been married for two years now. we have join account for everything. Now we can not afford to make two mortgage payment and are planning to foreclose her house. Would this affect my credit or would the bank go after my house or saving?
