I have heard of thermostats that you can install that have a minimum temperature setting (say, 50 or 55 degrees F) to automatically turn on the heat even if the tenant doesn't have the heater on, and we'd like to put those in to prevent frozen pipes. 

The release form would prevent that. 

I urge us to stand together to:End the Squatters Scam: Implement measures that prevent abuse of the system.Protect Homeowners and Small Landlords: Ensure fairness and justice for all parties involved.Streamline Legal Processes: Expedite eviction proceedings without compromising due process.Advocate for Transparency: Shed light on the impact of these delays on hardworking taxpayers.Senator, your support and advocacy can make a significant difference.

I just removed a tenant from another property that was there for 15 months without paying rent, because Vegas' non-evict order prevented me from booting them (it expired on June 1).

The combination of Al wire and an FPE panel is especially concerning because Al wire is more likely to have a loose connection that will overheat to a temp that can cause combustion, and the FPE panel has a high chance of not tripping when that happens in order to prevent that overheating from continuing.

Is there anything that would prevent me from refinancing using a vacation home loan now? 

I’d think you need a lawyer for the real answer but I can give advice on how to prevent this in the future.Did you have a lawyer create a custom lease for you or did you find one online?

Fox 5 news reported on this in September 2022:https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/court-backlog-prevents-clayton-county-landlords-from-evicting-tenantsMy tenants ceased paying rent in August 2022.

A good buyer's agent would have prevented all of the above (good being the operative word).

Agreed on higher rents for the programs but want to make sure there are no huge issues with the City that will prevent payment.
