Thanks for that info.Can you offer any insight as to the a) standard prefinished engineered hardwood vs. b) the 3 coats of poly atop solid bamboo or oak or some such wood to create the impenetrable surface re: water, dog urine, etc. vs. c) putting carpet in the three bedrooms and vinyl tile in the washer/dryer closet?

I'd get a single family house in bridgetown, white oak or an area like that.

The landlord before buying should have looked at current rent on the lease versus market rent.Generally what happens on these properties is as the tenants say our job is losing income etc. and we need reduced rent then the landlord complies in certain cases.When that happens the landlord starts cutting down on maintenance and repairs to preserve the same margins.Remember everyone has bills whether they are a tenant or a landlord.I am in the opposite situation.I get in to 20 units and there are tenants milking the situation.They will all be gone soon.They say we won't pay rent etc. but when it comes time to call the bluff they cough up the cash.If the events happen as you say then I feel for your situation.Just like bad tenants there are bad landlords where I would never operate my properties that way.If you are paying below market rent don't expect the world.Each year a landlord should raise the rent by 4 percent at least to handle carrying costs.If not your landlord is losing more money money on you for each year they keep the rent below market.I believe with the repairs the landlord would need to show "willful neglect" on not fixing the issues.

Perhaps the threat of eviction will accomplish that but I am a bit afraid she will call my bluff and then we are in a standoff.
