I've just sent out regular printed letters (in hand-addressed envelopes) to executors of estates that were filed since Jan 1, 2014 in the probate courts of Cook Co. and the surrounding counties.

00k for manager, 50k for hospitality manager and about another 100k for seasonal cooks, cleaners, and groundskeepers.

He had been having pot shipped from the West Coast in PODs that were delivered to abandoned houses, and was using the POD to stash the weed and was dealing out of the rental property.

Too many people 'cook' their books to raise the price of the multifamily properties.I live in Lakeland and if you need some advice, message me.Gavin

Disposal of fluids can be done properly, it's when they aren't you can have an issue.Noise is another issue to be covered generally, so revving up an engine constantly (as if they think they know what they are doing as old hot roders did) can be a noise issue.My lease prevented the tenant from keeping any inoperable machinery on premises or parts thereof, which meant all vehicles, lawn mowers or any gadget had to be operable, vehicles had to be titled, licensed and insured.The outside had to be free of clutter, trash, salvage or personal property not designed specifically as lawn furniture or for outdoor cooking and such was to be stored from view from the street when not in use.Those types of covenants will take care of a vehicle on blocks or an engine sitting in the yard.I wouldn't say anything about some minor repair being made to a vehicle, where do you draw the line, changing a windshield wiper or adding fluids or pulling the transmission. so long as it's done in the day and operable, doesn't cause toxics to spill, doesn't produce unwanted annoying noises, isn't a safety issue, is kept clean and neat, what's the issue?

Which means: I'm considering buying our current vacation rental from the other 2 families and owning it myself, assuming the numbers work (I need to do some additional analysis, as we used a HELOC from my parents and made interest-only payments for the mortgage; the remainder of the cash to furnish and make repairs came from $$ we each threw into the pot at the beginning).

@Purnell Cook Thank you for the advise.
