Post: Termite Tenting; do I have to pay for tenants hotel stay?

Quote from @Brian Mathews:

Treat them how you would like to be treated if the shoe is on the other foot no matter how she acts. She didn't put the termites there and it is a huge inconvenience for anybody. Give her the option of taking it off rent and she finds a place to stay or pay for her a comparable hotel to the duplex to stay at and she pays full rent. I think that is fair to anybody. She can stay with a friend and pocket some $$$. Or if she doesn't have anybody to stay with, she can stay at a hotel.


 The landlord didn't put the termites there either!  The landlord is also the victim here and someone who owns property would know that.  The landlord will be dealing with the repercussions of termites in the property long after this tenant is gone.

This will be a cash purchase and since I am on the board I am aware of any issues in the complex.  The only thing I can figure I should check is to have a title search completed.  How do we get this process started?  Is a Purchase Agreement form and a Quit Claim Deed sufficient for this transaction?  Thanks.

Thanks Ron. I appreciate the advice. I hope I don’t have to wait 90 days. Thanks again.

Thanks Marilyn. I should be getting the deed in about a week and I will move forward with your suggestions. I’ll let you know what happens. Thanks again for the information.

I bought a property (condo) at a foreclosure auction and I am waiting for the deed. I have been by the property a couple times and the blinds are closed but there is a light on inside. I have knocked on the door and never an answer. After receiving the deed I was going to first talk to the association office and gather any info from them about the property and if they think anyone is living in the property.  What should I be doing while waiting for the deed?   Is the next step a locksmith? I don’t want to get shot when I open the door. Thanks for all suggestions.
