In the same series they post about how they wouldn't let the repair people or landlord on the premises and made multiple calls to code enforcement and county health department.  

Since this is a subject near and dear to my heart, I'll offer what information I can.1) Do some states have anti-municipal BSL statutes?

I just ask that all the departing tenant's belonging be removed and any keys turned in ( I would give the option of a lock change if they felt it needed).If the unit looks good, then I would return the deposit (separate check if they'd like) and do a new lease with just the two remaining folks with first month's rent and deposit.

I am in the middle of the application process to join the police department.

Having been registered as an approved plan with the State, a proprietary system has already demonstrated through testing data that it meets or exceeds certain requirements.When utilizing a Proprietary Standard Plan Approval (SPA), plan check fees at the building department can usually be avoided.

Next go to a bank and talk to their commercial lending department, then offer accordingly so your cash meets the down payment required.

Dear BP community;Do you have recommendations for a good honest hard working property manager.

But I've talked extensively with the municipal zoning department, read the code, and I am preparing my case.  

And I need to talk with the remaining tenant about whether she can make up the difference if I refund half to the departing tenant.

You may also get your local county health department to assist with your case - inspection, verification type support.
