Any damages that occurred other than wear and tear you are responsible for, weather it comes out of the deposit or you pay for it yourself. 

But cleaning, not so much, as I watched enough court shows on TV and landlord always get into trouble over cleaning that judges see as normal wear and tear.

I’m a grown man, 35 years old, and not ashamed to admit that Brandon’s song about his daughter brought tears to my eyes.

I bought and moved to a condo, and when my closing attorney wrote them a demand letter, I got the refund in a week.I watch court shows on TV where landlords try to keep deposits with pictures of garbage left behind and damages, and usually the judges are not sympathetic attributing it to wear and tear.

Either tear it out and put drywall in or put 1/4" drywall over the top.

What to look for, where to look and any way that I can check the condition of the slab prior to an official inspection.We will check into the condition of the soil (Clay, Sand etc.) and any noticeable wear and tear on the outside but prior to inspection, are there any red flags I could look for myself or any questions to ask?

Then you could reverse engineer it from a condo to an apartment....and then figure out how to sell it to an apartment investor...or maybe tear the whole thing down and build something with higher value.

Building would be worth upwards of 20mill + 2. the property i own that is in the middle and the best lot for the project used to have a house on it, but we demolished that and it is only land value now.. practically free and clear.. banks i've spoken with will not loan me money on the land. 3. the costs to get the plans can't cost too much considering the value of the project... not trying to update anything, but want to tear down and either build or sell. 4. plans and permits could take 3-6mo ?

If it has a high rental ratio, it may be difficult for VA, FHA, low down borrowers.Your choices are: Keep it vacant until lawsuit is over; Lease it and accept wear and tear after moving out.

The wear and tear goes up with that many adults living in the house and everyone knows what goes on during flight school.
