Even though there is an eviction freeze in CT, most tenants are still reasonable people and don't want an eviction filed on their record.

Also, since a 95% gas furnace will make water in the winter, consider what happens to an exterior condensate drain - if the outside pipe freezes, it could back up into the furnace or otherwise spill into the house where you don't want it.You can get an electric pump that can be plumbed into the condensate drain line.  

Something about having a 9:00AM settlement in January on a day with winter precipitation (sleet, snow and freezing rain) occurring in the morning, and the buyer’s loan is being funded by a west coast lender - so closing wasn’t happening until after noon time.

Took another 8 months (til August 2019) to correct most of it and drop the balance to $1600, mostly accumulation of $25 late fees and interest since 2014...charges are still piling up even I asked to freeze the account while we are trying to sort it out.
