Also thanks for Chloe Eudaly to create this perfect environment for supporting criminal activities and yet punishing the owner for being a good responsible citizen keeping the property crime free.

This business harshly punishes people who don't have reserves.

If so, the last line says "I/We fully understand that it is a Federal crime punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, to knowingly make any false statements concerning any of the above facts as applicable under the provisions of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001, et seq."

If you feel that strongly about it I suggest you make a few phone calls and see if it is a punishable offense.

Unfortunately, as part of my punishment they didn't have the gas bill put in their names until the end of January.

Also, Dennis, the way things are in our government, do you think Congress will act, or just continue to punish Obama for getting elected by blocking everything he touches?

If a law is "tenant-friendly" it means the tenants have enough rights, under the law, to make it very difficult for the landlord to get rid of them or punish them.

If an agent partakes in this activity and has not disclosed it ahead of time, they can be subject to punishments by their MLS and board. 

brrrr buy-rehab-rent-refi-repeat basically to me "<<<<noob as well" thankfully I have punished these forums with a few of these questions. you would never want to intend to "flip" your primary residences as a new home own you more likely would want to do the house hack. by either renting rooms out or going multi family.

Your choices are:ask the tenants to vacate early; pay them if necessary, as suggested by @Courtney Prestonpurchase using FHA HomeReady (15% down on duplex, as stated by @Chris Mason)Find another property for FHA purchasecommit mortgage fraud by not honoring the FHA occupancy requirements.NOTE: you will find a lot of discussions on BP about the likelihood of being discovered for not occupying the property, and the respective punishment for doing so, but the end result is that it's mortgage fraud.
