I get being annoyed by the constant adding of rules and regulations from the site, it bothers me as well, but frankly, anyone who wasn't already meeting these guidelines with their messaging shouldn't be hosting anyway.

Also go ahead and ask further questions based on their responses when it seems appropriate.

So all of the neighborhoods in Cleveland will have the same rules and regulations.

now that we know this companies name I suspect some of the SC agents will turn this company in and ask how they can do it while others cant/wont.Jay, do you see all of this regulation as cleaning up the swamp of fly by night wannabes  and resulting in greater deal opportunity for those with the capital, knowledge and experience to comply and profit?  

Some have lots of rules and regulations and are only in it for the education fees.

The damage was not your fault and you have taken the appropriate steps to make the home safe and functional again.

I'd buy the best primary single family house you could appropriately afford.

If you are out of state, you will need to find out where this company is located and contact the appropriate entity.

You do have to deal with more regulation, which is the cost of doing business in CA.

In the event you fail an annual inspection where the property is occupied, then you will have the opportunity to make the appropriate repairs.
