If you tear it down and rebuild, would you have to redo the septic? 

It would be better if New Albany would stop tearing up the streets in downtown.

Commercial often want custom to their needs and producing something beautiful can result in tearing it all out I try to improve as much as I can during turnover only.

When something goes wrong and its the tenants fault or normal wear and tear.

No one informed me and one of the tenants admitted to seeing it at least 4 months ago.My question is can I claim it is not wear and tear and that they are responsible for it?

Your triplex sounds like it is priced for tear down more than salvation, if it is in the heart of CLT  then its highest value may be a new build, just depends where it is.  

The rest is just wear and tear.#1 Pay me#2 Do not destroy my property#3 Do not cause a ruckus in the neighborhoodIt becomes apparent quite quickly which tenants live too hard in property, if a landlord takes the time to observe it.

And for your laugh of the day, when tearing down the drywall ceiling, we found that there are at least four sheets of 5/8 chipwood / MDF screwed to the ceiling.

After 3 you have to tear down and put a new one.

Nik, I will stand by my statement and practice what I preach: "We should build each other up and not tear one another down."
