We rented a house month to month while we looked for a house in Oklahoma

wow, that's quite the stretch for them to sue you if there was nothing signed

Attorneys charge insane amounts for a phone call or drafting up equally silly

It’s the fact that most realtors refuse to negotiate the fee structures.
