So, if you're planning on acquiring properties in affected areas, I would suggest you become an expert at moisture mitigation, mold removal, have the capital to weather another hurricane and the possible event of your insurance provider declaring bankruptcy and going belly up after such an occurrence.Consider this: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/08/why-cities-flood/538251/*Houston, including its roads, parking lots, sidewalks, and other pavements, along with asphalt, concrete, brick, stone, was originally developed on land that, not for it's development, would have naturally absorbed water.

The lease agreement says: "Tenants are responsible for proper yard maintenance and upkeep including but not limited to mowing, watering, cleaning gutters, raking, and shoveling of sidewalks".Are there any Colorado Springs or state of Colorado laws that would prevent an owner of a home from requiring the tenant purchases their own equipment?  

The responsibilities are written into the lease and I go over it with the tenants.With multi's especially on the city, tenants have a tenant mentality, and customarily they pay the rent, expect the sidewalks to be swept, garbage taken to the curb, grass if any mowed.

I took out a 35K Home equity loan to remodel the main apartment (which was completely gutted when I bought it), repaint the outside, some roof work, landscaping work, expand the driveway, new sidewalks and a new concrete patio out back.

My concrete guy for example instead of pouring the new parking pad and sidewalk in November in relatively good weather, waited until January and then we got lucky with a “warm” 40 degree string of dry days he could pour.

So what I'm hearing is that I can put a sign on a person next to the sidewalk, no permit or anything of that nature required, but I can't put a sign on a stick next to the sidewalk.Makes perfect sense to me....

, the condition of the yards & sidewalks, is there trash/rubble? 

As for the treatment goes, usually they are closer to $1000+ because they will either have to pre treat the slab before it’s poured (new build), trench around the house and go under driveways and sidewalks, or use bait stations.

Hello,The Mesquite city inspector informed me that at my rental property there's a section of uneven sidewalk that is a trip hazard. 

My mom is literally a few houses down the sidewalk.
