So, you should keep the essentials functioning, but minor cosmetics that were with the property before she moved in, should remain.The only thing that has merit is the complaint regarding spraying the property - as a courtesy to the tenant, I normally do this automatically.

I don't see merit in the cases, but I am not an attorney nor do I know state statute outside of NC.

MY question is not about debating the merits of any one politician or party, but rather could you legally discriminate on political beliefs? 

Those are hard to fake.OK, now I have at least done a flip - just one - so I am not totally bereft of experience and merit here. 

I encourage you to reach out to an attorney for legal questions, as these questions merit someone trained in the law.

I can see both sides to the argument, on the one hand you already paid X for the job and it should have been done up to code in the first place so the contractor should eat the cost of additional work to meet the code.On the other hand, what contractors have told me is that "code" varies not only from town to town, but from inspector to inspector (whether they think your house is a "problem house" or you're a "problem owner" they need to school, what color your house is painted, whether you like the same sports teams, the phase of the moon, whether they had an argument with their spouse last night, etc.).So from their point of view the degree of ball-busting the inspector will put them through is variable and mostly outside their control, so they should be paid for the time spent on the job which includes any extra hoops the inspector feels like putting up that day.Personally I see a lot of merit to the first position and keep the contractor's position on the issue in mind the next time I need to call someone for that kind of work.If I were you I'd raise the question with the contractor politely, but I would not expect to get anything by it.

While other cities (Detroit, KC, St Louis, Ohio-cities), have their merits, Indianapolis offers distinct advantages that make it a superior choice for wealth creation.Indianapolis is a thriving metropolis on the rise, with a vibrant downtown, appealing neighborhoods, and a rich cultural scene.

So I think in your situation, it depends on what you consider a repair, what repairs merit a permit, and if the city really actually cares about it.

Every investment should be evaluated on its own economic merits, if you can find one that fully satisfies your criteria, (e.g., risk, return, liquidity, etc.) then fine.

My thought is to include with the termination notice a form letter outlining the merits of leaving when the lease is up - things like, eviction on your record making it hard to get a job/apartment, credit consequences, collection agencies, etc.Does anyone have such a letter that they use that they wouldn't mind sharing?
