He didn't need to tell me this, but he feels betrayed after giving the positive recommendation.We have not signed the lease yet, but she did give us first, last, and security deposit the other day - we were going to sign the lease that day but I had something come up and my wife didn't feel comfortable signing it without me there (both of our names are on the lease as landlords).
