You want a lock set remains locked that can be opened without a key on the inside, but requires a key on the outside, and a good door closer. They are called classroom locks, This will prevent tenants from forgetting to lock the door, but won’t help if they prop the door open.

It depends on what caused the leak. If you caused the leak then you would be responsible for the repairs. (if you children were playing in the bathroom sink and caused the sink to overflow it would be your responsibility.) If you didn't cause the leak (Like a broken pipe in the wall or a valve under the sink that failed.) it would be the responsibility of the landlord to fix. It doesn’t matter if he is insured or not. By the way if the leak was your fault, it would still be your responsibility to pay for the repair whether it was covered by insurance or not.

Sorry Josh I think the only solution if you want to keep the aspens is to keep cutting the shooters.

I hope Sandra is all right.

If you want an idea of how accurate those numbers are, try calling a 5-6 contractors and ask for a square foot cost. My guess is you will be lucky to get an actual number out of them.

The more precise the information you use for your estimate the more accurate the estimate. When you are talking square foot costs for a building they can vary greatly. As you break down your estimate into smaller more manageable pieces such square foot cost for a particular room your estimate accuracy increases. As you break down a room into individual components such as flooring, painting, trim work, your estimate accuracy increases even more.

If you are just starting out I would estimate the work with as much detail as possible just for the learning experience. Relying on a rule of thumb for remodeling or rehabbing work is just asking for trouble.

Befor you start waiting. Write a letter Certified mail stating that the problem needs to be fixed. That way you have proof of how long the problem has gone on unaddressed.

Assuming that you are looking at property in Waynesboro Virginia I looked here:

http://publicrecords.onlinesearches.com/VA_CityofWaynesboro.htm

It appears that the last two numbers are the block and lot. I have been unable to figure out you get the map, insert, and dblcircle from the first number.

The best way to figure it out it to probably look at a map and work your way backwards from a map to understand the numbering system.

At the site above you can doo a search by street without the number to get all the properties on a street. You can copy and paste the data into Excel to be able to manipulate the data.

There is a plan in Flint to shrink the city by bulldozing areas and returning them to nature and the federal government is looking at the idea for other US cities.

I have no objection to the idea myself. If a local government wants to bulldoze some properties that are vacant and have been for years, so be it. There are areas near me that would probably benefit from a good bulldozing. The only thing that concerns me is the federal government looking into this.

What do you think of the idea?

She can dispute the items on the grounds that they are not accurate. The proof that is not accurate is the summary showing that the foreclosure being dismissed.

Credit reporting agencies are obligated by law (Fair Credit Reporting Act) to maintain accurate records. They have 30 from the date they are giving notice to investigate and correct any incorrect information or delete the item from their file. If do not correct or remove it they are liable for damages incurred. (you were turned down on a loan because they are incorrectly reporting that you have a foreclosure in your credit report. Or you received a higher rate because of a low credit score.)

If you provide them the proof that an item is not correct and let them know you are soon going to be applying for a home loan, It is highly unlikely that the items would not be removed.
