Ok I have been renting a house form a realty company. the other day i recived a letter on my door from a company called marken ventures (they have a web site) with a copy of a deed saying he is the owner of the home and i need to pay him rent from now on. I looked it up on our county web site and he is legal owner of the home. I called my landlord and they say i need to continue paying them. I called back the other guy and he says i need to pay him. I am so lost and do not know what to do . My realty company says he can not evict me cause i have a lease with them. The owner says he can evict me cause he is the owner of the home. The realty company says if i do not pay them i will be taken to court for not going by the lease. What do i do any help anyone any advice . I dont have money to get a lawyer to ask questions. Rent of course is comming up and I really dont know what to do .

You are required to pay the real estate company. Do not pay the person that says they are the owner of the home. It could be a scam.
If there is a problem between the owner and the property management company let them fight it out.
You keep from being involved in it.
The owner of the home can not kick you out because the rent has been paid.
And if he does you will then have a new home to move into courtesy of the home owner.

Who did you sign the lease with? Thats the party you need to pay.
Sounds like either an outright scam or a feud between the owner and the reality agent. If he pesters you again, demand a face-to-face meeting between you, him and the realty agency owner.
