If you're in the gray/grey area when the rules are not clear, how unclear are they, and what shade of grey (yes, yes, I get the reference) are you using?

It seems like it is something of a gray area, because you are taking care of it, but you might lose this one in court.There is also this,"If an apartment becomes uninhabitable due to fire or other damage not caused by the tenant, and the lease does not expressly provide otherwise, the tenant may vacate the apartment and cancel the lease.

Figured I would start a little series talking about my day to day in note investing and what the gurus do not teach you as they always make note investing seem black and white where in reality, most of it is in the gray area.Here is an example, you foreclose on a property and the property is still occupied.

They are both shades of gray.
