Okay I am having trouble with my house I cannot get a hold of the guy I am buying it from and I need to get in it soon but I gotta know when he will be done with his work so I can do what I have to do and he doesn't want to sign the contract until after I move in and I just don't like that at all.  And he put a stove in it but it has an electric pilot light but its a gas stove and there is no electric outlet near the gas hookup so not sure how that will work.   And he has started saying something about not being sure if I can get it insured

  I would make sure that the house can be insured, etc.  Do take care of yourself and be extremely careful.

Well I already gave him $500 down to hold it and he gave me a recite (sp?) but since then I have had a hard time getting in touch with him and I had some concerns about something that I noticed the leak he told me was a small one I believe was much worse because I noticed that the wall has mildew all the way down it and I am not sure if it has mold or not.  And so I wanted to get in touch with him and back out of the sale but he is hard to get in touch with.  My boyfriend doesn't want me to buy the house he thinks I would be better off to rent a small apartment for now and forget the house so I am definanetly giving it some thought with all that's going on.   I was so happy too with finally getting a place for me and Lilly but I don't want either of us to be unsafe.  I would rather leave her here for a few months than to put her through a house with mold and mildew in it.  Sorry I am kind of ranting but its bothering me. 

I am very concerned for you.  Mold and mildew can cause all sorts of health problems.  (very serious ones at that)  Please take care of yourself.

I meant I would rather have her put up with my dad's sillyness then to be in that situation with the mold but I called a guy about an apartment and he said Lilly can be there and its rather cheap and would be okay until I can find better.  But I can't have her in a house that has mold and mildew and I went by there because he was supposed to put a stove in there and he hasn't done it. 

I agree you should stay away from this house.  If you do decide you still want the house,  you shouldn't sign anything or give him any more money until you have a home inspection by a professional.  (someone you pick, not someone he suggests)  It would probably cost a couple hundred dollars,  but could save you a fortune in the long run.

As far as the deposit,  I'd contact the State Office of the Attorney General and see if they have any advice for you.    http://ag.ky.gov/civil/consumerprotection/

I finally got in touch with the guy and he told me he finished the repairs but where the mildew was he painted over it with kilz paint but didn't paint all the way down.  and at the bottom of the wall the mildew is not covered up. 

I am going to see about an apartment that has an ad in the paper today.  One of my friends thinks I should take this house, why I don't know but right now my boyfriend is in jail and in order for him to get out in may I have to find a place but even he said not to take the house.  The house was on a land contract and so I didn't have to worry about a loan but this guy doesn't like people living together and refuses to rent to anyone living together and my boyfriend's mammaw said that he can still say who lives there with it being a contract sale.  And I told the man I needed to know where the property lines where so I could put a fence around the yard and he said he would advise me not to put alot of money into the house that I wouldn't be able to get back if I lost the house.  And he was advising me to put carpet down and I told him I was not going to put it down. 

And he didn't act like he liked that statement.  My boyfriend thinks we would be better off to find a nice apartment that would allow Lilly and take it instead.  And I guess everyone agrees with him I just worry about getting moved in time for him to get out.  I just changed jobs and start my new one next week and I will get a better pay for it.  So I gotta do something very quickly.
