Mold remediation is expensive...thankfully the seller covered it.Purchasing with tenants in place always adds headaches.

These reports may save you a lot of money from the mold remediation, if such is necessary, and to protect you in case of a future court case.

You have the right idea of how to market.As a broker, I encourage sellers to get a phase 1 before we go to market - that way we know ahead of time if there is any remediation and can either fix it ahead of time or price in the work.

@Curt Bixel I don't have any personal experience with section 8 but here is a helpful guide from rentprep.comhttps://rentprep.com/landlord-...I would have the inspection and allow the HUD inspector to bring up any asbestos questions (or not) and suggest the remedy.

I think a letter from your lawyer to the former owner and her son will remedy your situation.

The old wood siding will need to be replaced as well because of combined termite and squirrels going buffet style on it.With all that being said I'm wondering if anyone has remediation experience with major termite issues.

I have worked with structural engineers on fire guts, handled mold remediation, and repaired water damaged properties.

The remediation costs were in the six figures...There shouldn’t be anything illegal about doing work to the other party’s property with their consent.

So, while I think it's nice that you want to help them remedy what they seem to feel has become an untenable living situation, I certainly don't think you should also be required to foot any sort of financial bill to help solve their problem.Is Tenant B open to leaving? 

All we can do is know what the moratorium doesn't include and capitalize on those remedies.
