I'm not sure if it's a mindset matter of wanting it bad enough, or maybe there is a physical remedy like exercising more often?

Here's the text in my leases: Pest control, after the first ten (10) days of the Term of this Lease, shall be the sole responsibility of the Tenant, including, without limitation, prevention and remediation.

Start simple, cheap, where you can not only afford the acquisition but also afford the screw-ups you most certainly will be making, and the remedies for them.

From my experience in sourcing code violation cases from different areas of the country I can tell you that if the situation isn't remedied and it escalates the fines and liens will be levied against you the homeowner - not the tenant. 

You're not going to find the answer for your situation in Gates, just the overarching remedial intent of Sec 121.

Your legal remedy is to force the seller to close through specific performance, and if you had sufficient language in your liquidated damages and default language the seller may also have to pay your legal fees.

If it is impossible for you to look at the property prior to purchasing, you MUST have trusted partners that can point out repairs/concerns and estimate (in dollar terms) the remediation plan.  

We had a contractor that is specialized in fire remediation review the damage and he has informed us that the tenant cannot be living in the apartment while repairs are underway which is estimated to take about four weeks.

Meggen,Black Mold needs to be properly remediated. 

Cost to remedy. $3000-Closing Costs $2500-Attorney fee $1000 =$9800
