The $500 number is based off the new regulations for taxpayers without a financial statement.http://tax.cchgroup.com/downloads/files/pdfs/legislation/repair-capitalization-regulations.pdf

So this is a very, err, exotic question, but what I'm looking for is this:Reconstructable structures for a beach club.The thing is France has had some legislation passed which abolishes beach clubs (think Saint Tropez) that are kept all year round in "environmentally sensitive zones" (i.e. everywhere).They still allow licenses on leased beach land during the season (april-october) but outside of that, they need to magically disappear.Save from having a 400.000 EUR write-off every year, I believe there has to be another way.

Usually, the leases I see have language stating that Landlord has the right to provide utilities and I delete that and say that Tenant will go directly to the utility provider and we then add language to say that the utilities will be paid and pipes will not freeze and all that protective stuff -- or, the Landlord says that there is only one meter and we either state that Tenant will pay to separate or some other "sharing" language.However, in this recent deal the Landlord states that the utilities are separately metered but Landlord wants the right to force Tenant to buy the utilities from Landlord instead of the utility provider and even agrees that the cost will not exceed what Tenant would have paid the utility provider -- but Landlord has expressed on no uncertain terms (rather rudely in fact) that he will not change the language and will walk from the deal if we require the change.

So the other two that fall into the "Other" category are...1) The uncertain Real Estate Market2) TimeBoth also very good!

Due to property tax reform, the sale amount is considered the market value,For that trade off and anti business legislation there was homeowner tax relief.

It took a ton of work and was one of the most uncertain economic times in history but we made it work!

@Jenni G. yes,excessive and is an example of greed that will propel lawmakers to legislate against non refundable fees for move in costs. 

The realtor is uncertain if it has been winterized. 

New construction is exempt from the rent control portion of the legislation for 15 years.  

If anyone can point me in the right direction in these uncertain times, it will be GREATLY appreciated.
