Well, what would be happening is that your buyer would be buying your house subject to the existing note, since you can't legally sell the property without paying off that note or transferring the debt to the new buyer.

Most are fine with that, but a few will have problems with it and claim there are legal issues, etc..

This provision, through the Affordable Homes Act, make ADUs legal BY RIGHT in any single family zoned property in the state.

I want to pursue the case without legal help but I fear she might use my email to double down on harassment claims and go for appeal.Really down atm so please advise :)

@Alvin Sylvain I agree the emotional support animals are B.S. but they are legal and we have to abide by the law.If the animal is an ESA, you are allowed to ask if the person is disabled and what service the animal provides.

The AP has to be open, notorious and hostile...those terms have a legal meaning and essentially it is that you as the owner have been fully deprived of your right to the property.Absent those items above, it sounds like at best they have another legal right which is a "prescriptive easement".

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Sean Gallagher legally you are correct, but many tenants do NOT know this.We take over properties all the time and close 80% of existing tenants sign a lease with us.True! 

Alternative is the sherif evicts him and I pay tax and insurance.I know we can have a gentleman's agreement on these things, but im still afraid he might be able to legally sue me if we have a legitimate residential lease?

This is not tax or legal advice, just what I personally do, consult your professionals! 

And as far as legal—an attorney becomes essential once you're ready to finalize terms with either an HML or private lender to make sure everything’s secure.Hope this helps!
