(I'd never have tolerated delays like that in a normal tenant...one of the foundations of Sect 8 are the same treatment for all groups)Now- once we got into their system (direct deposit to a corporation's account, I provided everything to them but my blood type and tax returns).

But assuming that it goes thru should we trust the government to tell us where to go for treatment?

Further, the Internal Revenue Service has also taken the position that if the replacement property is sold immediately after the 1031 exchange transaction then it was not held sufficiently long enough to qualify for 1031 exchange treatment.Little Definitive Authority on Holding PeriodWhile there is little definitive authority on the holding period, in one private letter ruling, the Internal Revenue Service has stated that a minimum holding period of two (2) years would be sufficient to meet the Qualified Use test, and a number of court decisions have been handed down that have also taken the same position (although they have been somewhat more liberal than the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service).Intent to Hold is Important Factor The amount of time you hold title to the property is not the only factor the Internal Revenue Service will use to determine whether you had the intent to hold the property for investment and therefore qualify for 1031 exchange treatment, but it is extremely important.

For us, we just don't bother with trying to reach anyone until we own in case we need to take a hard stance on the treatment of the account.

My agreement has a refundable $200 deposit with a requirement the tenants pay for flea treatment at the end of lease.

We do not provide pest treatment for our tenants.

There was an initial treatment and a weekly followup for several weeks, till all the bees died.

Just south of this area is the landfill, trash incinerator, and waste water treatment center.

Generally, if the budget allows; it is good to have a decent quality water treatment system at least for drinking and cooking purposes.  

The efficiency of the treatment will depend on 1. where the problem is and 2. how the treatment is applied.
