I My husband and I have worked very hard on cleaning up our credit in order to buy. We are able to buy right now, just no down payment. We have been locked in a lease since 2011 (ends this august--long story but basically the home is a health hazard for us and my kids) and being the worrier that I am, I am wondering what our chances are if he gets awarded a judgement for leaving the lease 8 months before the lease is up? We are currently moving into a new home that the homeowner is letting us rent until we can save for the down payment. I don't know much about judgements or how long the court stuff would take if he sues us, and I know we do have a chance at fighting it, but I am still worried. What would the lenders do if we do get a judgement on us? I know it's a LOT harder to buy now as it is.
