It can be costly for a landlord to mount a defense and often the tenant has more to gain by pursuing the case. 

This saves me money to keep them and I can reuse all the existing holes making mounting everything back super fast. 

If you are concerned ask him how he is going to mount the board on the wall.  

Hot and cold water is backwards, big hole in the wall under the sink , sink not mounted, counter not mounted ect 😐 other than that the house is nearly turnkey

I want my first deal to be a good one.As a side note, the taxes are $10,500 which is included in the mortgage cost (Can't escape high taxes in Westchester - Mount Vernon, NY to be exact.)

Explore the idea putting in a small wall-mounted cabinet with an itty-bitty vessel sink on top of it.

Permanent overhead or wall-mounted light fixtures may count as one ofthe required electrical outlets.

if not, maybe a wall mounted split AC system is all you need for the whole unit if it's small enough.

The property itself lies in Mount Washington according to Hamilton County Auditor records.  

I am about close escrow for a unit with wall mount gas fired boiler providing hot water and water radiator for heating.
