Frustrated!!!

So we've lived in Florida about 3 months now. And since we are only going to be here a year or so we decided to obviously rent. We had heard many horror stories before we moved here about people renting out places only to find out that the owner's were actually in foreclosure on their property and just pocketing the renters money. There are TONS of foreclosed homes in Florida...at least compared to Dallas. So we were very careful finding a place to rent because we didn't want that to happen to us. We found a 3 bedroom townhome that we are renting now and the owner has a property management company dealing with it so we felt more comfortable with that. But we were wrong! The other day Guy got a call from them and they told us that the owner has decided to short sell this place and they just wanted to let us know that it would be going on the market soon. WHAT! I seriously thought Guy was joking when he told me. We just moved in 3 months ago and we signed a year lease. We are just barely feeling settled...I still have about 4 boxes left to unpack! She told us that she didn't think it would sell because he is pricing it too high, but still you just never know. Basically, from what I understand, if someone else buys the property they still would have to honor our contract or else pay us off to get us out of here. So they won't be kicking us out and we can't end our contract without losing our security deposit which stinks. So I'm not sure what's going to happen but I am just frustrated. I don't want to have to deal with this. Especially having to deal with potential buyers walking through our house and all of our stuff all the time. We aren't paying all this rent money for that! Truthfully I think I would rather just end our contract and find a new place to live then deal with all of this. Why did he get renters in here if he was planning on selling it so soon! Annoying!!!! Right now I am just wishing we were settled somewhere with a house of our own and not having to deal with other people! We seriously have the worst luck renting!!! :)
