I finally finished rehabbing a property after 8 months being busy with it,      I put it out on Zillow and finally after long weeks searching i find a good tenant,    at the final thing I wanted to make the inspection for the CO, I got a very tough inspector, so before he even went to the house he told me that I need to destroy a distress shed that was in the backyard, that itself cost me $1,800,    then after that he went down and asked me for a list of the people who was going to live there and it was eight people so he told me that only four people are allowed even though it's a big three bedroom house, so i have to cancel tenet and she is crying ,    and then he gave me a long list of things that needs to be repaired including inspected for lead-based paint and to level up the backyard and many many things which are hard to do and cost a lot of money, so my question is what in the world can I do now ? it's really terrible for me

If you were rehabbing this property for 8 months, issues like the distressed shed and lead-based paint testing/rectification should have been handled a while ago. I'm not sure what you mean by "level up" the backyard, but I'm guessing you mean that it needs leveled. If this was for a section 8 property, or you have a local housing authority that inspects rentals prior to receiving a license, you should have obtained a copy of their requirements prior to beginning rehab. Doesn't seem like there's much you can do now besides address the concerns, though.
