This reduces the quantity of mortgages, allowing you to go back to the conventional well, so to speak. 

Sure, it might be an appreciating market, but forcing $4,500 relocation payments reduces the amount of profit a property makes, which thus reduces the value of your property, which is (for commercial buildings over 5 units especially) based on the amount of profit a building can produce.

Not sure if a judge wouldn't count text as notice in this case though since they tend to be more like Judge Judy than Perry Mason on issues like this.The dishwasher, I would not allow for reduced rent.

I guess my main concern would be reducing the applicant pool when it comes to families with young children.

I've thought about letting him buy one and giving him reduced rent until its paid for, letting him buy it and hopefully teach him to not burn the house down, or just buying one myself.

Account Closed thank you for the replyI am a non-immigrant on work visa and trying to find out if there is a way to solve this without getting into legal matters (not trying to gain sympathy, don't know if it affects my work permit renewal, but just trying to stay away from such issues)asked the manager to reduce these additional charges (since the apartment is benefitting from what I pay and he said, "we already gave you 10% discount of what a laminate would have costed")if I said yes to granite and terminated the lease next day, its two months notice and the increase in rent after granite tops install is IIRC 110 per month; I am ready to pay the $220 as additional charges but the manager just ignored...I strongly believe its unfair but I am worried taking it up legally, is court my only option?
