Depending on the response, if I can only assign the existing lease agreements, can I at least amend the current agreements with language that I'm comfortable with?

But I've heard that you can amend your taxes after the fact to write off the expenses later... is that true?

Should I ask them to perform the removal or ask for an amended contract? 

A simple amendment to the contract can be made and signed by all parties once you figure out the state of the home.

You can likely fax them purchase/sale documents showing the exclusion and hopefully not have to amend your 2014 return. 

Beyond that work with Flood Insurance maps themselves can reduce premiums with a Letter of Map Amendment. 

My question is do I need to re-write the lease with tenant or is there any amendment that would suffice?

However, they've made 2 payments of a few hundred each time that morning and a few days before, before we had a chance to amend our motion.

Because growing, selling, and possessing marijuana is still a federal crime, ordinances and crime-free lease addenda should probably be amended to exclude marijuana-related activities authorized and licensed under the statute.

I may amend our rental agreement to say that if a garbage disposal is in the unit it will not be repaired or replaced when it no longer is functional.
