Hello everyone! 
The time has come... my first tenant departure.
They are not renewing their annual lease which expires January 31st. Their reason for departing is that they're buying a house but otherwise they have...

The re-lining procedure only makes sense in very select cases where the pipe structure is still sound, but the surface is very far gone, or the pipe is under massive tree roots.  

You need to define FMV and the procedure to obtain it, there will be disagreements on the calculation, time periods, cost allocations, closing date, etc.

You need to follow the proper procedure to get the tenant out. 

What are your procedures for taking over a property with tenants in place? 

The contact person must handle any complaints from the renters.It is not that onerous and the licensing procedures are available on line.

Being a unique situation and market specific, I think most brokers would approach it differently so you should work directly with your broker to make sure you're not violating any of your MLS's procedures but still providing full service to your family friend.In Utah it's not uncommon to see a buyer's agent commission be a fixed number, in this case it could be $1 or something small like $500.  

Some tenants thought it was a key to a secret massage parlor.

I also suspect you're going to see a lot of old time landlords exit and sell to corporations, which will either implement more stringent tenant procedures, or turn rentals into condos, townhomes etc.

Please send me more details via private massage.
