I would bet you that they even dug out the lease, saw the clause, and decided deliberately to go with the "easier to get forgiveness than permission" angle.You are not a bad guy for saying they have to go along with the terms they agreed to.And if your lease says they had to maintain the yard, unless that included killing it completely with astro-turf, that is also a major violation.These guys "used to be" great tenants.  

He deliberately didn't put her and the kids on the application for a reason,this was no accident.Don't give her tenants rights by letting her move in,you'll go through financial hell to get rid of her!!!

Looking back, I think a few things I did right (at first by lucky accident, and later by deliberate planning) made this possible:1)I timed my appreciation plays very well ... not that I nailed the absolute bottom of the market upon purchase (though I have), but like horse-shoes, hand grenades, and nuclear warfare, close is sometimes good enough.

The property next door just hit the market at $330k... so I think what you're saying, @Eric G. is very likely -- that it was deliberately priced low to start a bidding war.

At this point, I think you are being deliberately obtuse and argumentative.

From a law class I took, I believe any court action would consider this a scrivener's error (clerk's error) - where the written documents have an error on them, that is an obvious error and so would not be enforceable.As far as them doing this and any impropriety, well, if they did it deliberately, that would be fraud, in my opinion. 

But, you will be entering with your key, even if nobody answers the door.I'd send that notice by ever possible means you have - text, email, phone, notice on the door with a photo and witness, everything you can think of.I'd probably also video record going to the door and going in and/or any conversation you have with them when you get there.If they do something that deliberately thwarts your effort to enter, like they change the locks or whatever, then I'd give them a 3 day notice anyway.By the way, this is a great book.  

Without more information its hard to say exactly the situation here.I do get the feeling that HOAs do sometimes foreclose hoping someone will pay them off.I've also heard of folks deliberately buying at an HOA or second mortgage foreclosure even knowing there's no equity and they're buying "nothing."  

JPMorgan Chase, Nationwide, Honda, L Brands, Huntington, and Amazon are just a few of the many companies that have thousands of jobs in the city.New Albany is home to several major data centers including ones operated by Amazon, Google and Facebook, whose parent company, Meta, announced plans in the spring to expand its New Albany campus.

I'd pull back a little earth from the foundation--make a tiny trench kind of thing, and sprinkle DE liberally all around the foundation.
