Sneaky ish like this is one of the reasons we have 6 billion laws on minutiae in this country.
If you have to ask, your conscience is likely already telling you the answer.

Contracts are contracts. What I describe here would not violate my contract with him. It would purely be a judo move to avoid paying him for not doing any work in terms of arranging a sale.
The issue is that if he finds out you later sold it to the person leasing the house then it will be easy for any attorney with a pulse to prove that you made an effort to purposely null the contract to avoid paying the commission. If he pursued it, I don't see how he would lose. He brought the tenant and obeyed the contract unlike you who would be acting in bad faith to null it.

I'm about to rent while I build and will have to pay double my note to get something comparable

Remember that there is risk for me here, too. I could get into a situation where the chick decides she doesn't want to buy it after I do this little maneuver. Several things could go wrong for me.
As for my conscience, it's frick me over many a time when I should have come out better. I want the ethical guidance of the OT, where all the ballers are.

You are correct Sir.

I don't doubt this at all. I can't believe what people are paying for rentals. I guess it also has a lot to do with people not being able to get mortgages as easy as they used to and it seems like more people have shite credit these days.

Uh yes that's unethical. You can get your arse kicked for pulling shift like that
Posted on 11/17/15 at 8:54 pm to yellowfin
I will rent you my house.

Null it? No. I would be doing something well within my rights and that HIS contract didn't address. A very short break in the lease to her and an intervening lease to somebody else. That's why the dude wrote in there a 3-month waiting period. He realizes this KIND of thing could happen. But he obviously assumes some risk that somebody very committed to doing this can make it happen.

Poor form.

Where?
Posted on 11/17/15 at 8:58 pm to Palo Gaucho
I won't argue with anybody who says it's poor form. That's what I wanted: people's opinion on the level of shadiness, of which I acknowledge there is some.
But I welcome an argument about how he could sue me for breach of contract.

A one day lease to her family member. Yea no judge would see through that at all. You have outsmarted everyone!

It's standard in all rental agreements with any real estate agency. The thing is that if you didn't want to do this then you could have negotiated the contract language prior. You can't do it after the fact and think you are skirting the issue by being fraudulent.
Do what you want because you seem to have already made up your mind but if he sued he would win IMO based on what info you have shared.

Real estate agents annoy me as the next guy but I will never understand this kind of thinking. You should not have entered into an agreement you didn't intend to honor or planned to weasel out of with a completely fabricated technicality. On a very basic level, it's just a very poor statement on how you view other people. Not to mention these things tend to reverberate if you have any other personal professional connection in the area.Plus your karma would be screwed. The Universe would throw a shite sandwich back in you in short order. It's science. I just don't get how you think this would be acceptable on any level other than OT.

Broussard. It would be a step down for you.

Tenant has an adult son who lives nearby. I'm thinking of leasing it to the son for a day, then leasing it back to the mother, waiting three months, and selling it to her and avoiding the commission to the listing agent. (BTW, he already got paid a month's rent, which was $1475.
Wow. Just wow. You are really a piece of shite. What comes around goes around. Karma is a bitch. If you do pursue this, when karma catches up to you, I hope you remember this post. You are as low as they come.
