If I interpret your post correctly, it seems to me you are referring to a situation where there are truly 2 closings.

Please do continue to attack my thoughts and interpretations which you see as incorrect.

In this crazy market, except for very few geographical territories, it means nothing and is too open for interpretation.

It's just a matter of getting caught, and twisting the results, so ultimately interpretation...

Now others can interpret that as they'd like...

You may find some good landlord-tenant guidelines, or even something on how the courts interpret landlord - tenant responsibilities.

I didn't delve into their SEC filings, though.I'd be interested in other people's takes on this -- I'm not an accountant nor am I a CFA, so I might've mis-interpreted things.

They do this so no one copies the spreadsheets – as if a P&L, cash flow, or amortization table is proprietary.In fact, there are some calculations, such as capital gains and the resulting taxes that are personalized and subject to interpretation, so you have to know what the software assumes.

What they are doing is expecting to get X for the cost of Y..If it does turn out that they are in some way "protected," and you show any behavior that could indicate or be interpreted as descrimination (like serving a long term tenant a 30 day notice with no reason given just after they open a daycare), well, consider that risk, too.It irks me to no end.

Just a difference of opinion and interpretation of the agreements that were signed at closing with our attorney Regardless, the seller is attempting to sue or settle.
