I believe the HUD guidelines are two per bedroom plus one, so for your apartment it would be a total of five allowed to live in it.

You need to honor the existing lease.  Then at renewal time you can renegotiate the rent.

After twelve years it needs a thorough painting.  Just paint it and move on.  Feel lucky you had a tenant for that long.

Oops thought it read Sept 2017.  That sucks.

You can't charge for a dog unless the lease says that you can.  Their lease ending at the end of September is actually a good thing for you.  You have a chance to tailor the next lease more to your liking.  With market rents and pet provisions.

All the terms of the existing lease stay in effect until October 31st.

If its your washing machine and you rented the apartment out with a working washing machine, it is your responsibility to continue to provide a working washing machine.

That is good information to know @Deanna McCormick.

It is much better to have the seller evict prior to you taking on ownership of the property.

I'm guessing that what @Jordan Moorhead is referring to is that with that price to rent ratio it will usually be in a less than ideal location.
