And why does it matter if it's a separate account from my own? none of this makes sense to me, how would having a separate account with money it in prove anything. I'm stressed beyond belief and I was hoping to be guided threw this but everyone just tells me general ideas and I can't figure it out myself and I only have 3 days to figure this out before the month is over. I can't talk to a lawyer if I don't have money, tried the free help that mimimalist said but they are closed and are not open until Monday.
Nobody can help you look stuff up on line if we don't know where you live. Laws very greatly by state. You might be able to pay your rent into an escrow account....you might not. If you pay your rent into an escrow account it would be difficult or impossible to evict you for non-payment. The two "landlords" would have to fight over the funds in the escrow account. You would be sitting on the side lines eating popcorn watching fight.
I think your situation is an interesting one. Please keep us updated as it progresses.
