We've been counter-offering back and forth for almost 2 weeks and finally have agreement, but before the deal formally goes under contract BofA wants me to sign-off on 21 pages worth of addendums:- a 17-page Real Estate Purchase addendum- a 1-page Buyer's Acknowledgement and Disclosure- a 2-page Water Damage, Toxic Mold & Environmental Disclosure, Release and Indemnification Agreement- and a 1-page Lead-Based Paint and Lead-Based Paint Hazards Disclosure, Acknowledgement and Disclosure.I've skimmed through it and it appears to be a lot of CYA type stuff, like there's not property condition disclosure, its being sold "as-is", buyer won't hold BofA accountable if problems with property arise at a later date, etc.

I retrained my tenant by getting it fixed and letting her know that she was responsible for the expense, so next time she will consciously think "I wonder if this should go in the disposal...maybe not" because it is now her expense not yours otherwise why not keep doing it.You said the washer/dryer hose came off, did you move the washer/dryer around and knock it loose...no the tenant did.The breaker/fuse tripped so someone overloaded the circuit, did you plug the hairdryer, fan, laptop, tv and sound system into one plug....no the tenant did.The sink got clogged, did you pour bacon grease/mud/potato peels down the drain...no the tenant did.I say all of this because the tenant has no reason to try to make sure they don't cause damage because they will just get it fixed free.
