It’ll save you headaches later if she tries to escalate things.Document Everything: Take pictures, write down the history of your interactions etcOffer a Transition Plan: Just like my client, I’d recomend offering her a temporary storage option nearby, or even a small rent discount, to show you’re not trying to kick her out - just keeping the property safe and up to code.

Speak with the director of development (they're not always titled that way, so just ask for whoever deals with area developments, new construction, rezoning, etc.) to ask if they'd be supportive of your plan.
