I have a rental in a new rural development that does not have city garbage pickup. Most neighbors just use local dumpster providers, is it my responsibility to pay for the dumpster? Should the tenant arrange for it and pay for it?

 yes

I am wanting to do a cash-out/refi on a property 

CRA is auditing my 2022 taxes, bank won't initiate an application if taxes show owing. I have sent everything back to CRA and expect full amount owing to be reversed. But this will likely take months.  

Anyone have experience with a situation like this or any workarounds? 

P.S. if this was only a couple thousand dollar audit I would just pay CRA and then they'd refund me once they've finished re-assessment. 

Ok thanks! Even if the said Reno’s are as small as a few pieces of trim and some missing soffit? 

We built a home a while ago and are wanting to get it appraised for a cash-out refinance. We've still been doing some work to it so there are some minor "renos" that are not done and not all the rooms are furnished. Will this be an issue for appraisal? Will it affect the value of the appraisal? 

 ok is 7" not the maximum for Texas Stair Code? can i go 7.5?

 height is 112" and ideal length is 120" . With 7" rise that would = 16 stairs. I guess I could add a landing 3/4 of the way down and bring it down to the side which is open. 

 height and length (into the room) makes it hard to have them be 7" rise for 11" run. currently they are more like 8" rise for 8" run

I have a situation where my stairs are not 100% to code in Texas. Can I include something in the Rental Agreement where they would sign, acknowledging the stair issue and that we are not liable? 

(additional info: changing the stairs or getting new ones would be a massive undertaking)
