If a little wit bothered you, you should not try and sell you own house.

I've witnessed several "historic" buildings try the residential above and office/retail below and have major tenancy issues.

Quote from @Shawn W.: It sounds like SFH is the target in this area and that Condos would not work due to HOA by-laws.

I am at my wit's end with this. 

Over the years I've witnessed parties make many unforced errors in this context. 

Also, we have witnessed a lot of tenant applicant fraud related to income verification and employment, in addition to identity theft.

Now it is very important for you to show up at the court date as the complaining witness so the case won’t be dismissed.

That's super cool to be able to witness and support such a milestone. 

- the law does not appear to state in what manner the tenant has to make that demand.So, reading the applicable law in whole, element by element (as all laws should be read,) I take from this law that, unless the tenant makes a demand - even verbally (for which there may be no witness/evidence) - only then is the “14-day” clock even triggered.

If you have a PM they will be brought forth as a witness but only an attorney can represent you.
