I like SW pro classic trim paint in latex and really like bm advance but it is a little pita to work with and clean up but dries flat and hard though.

As Covid stimulus dries up, consumers will be looking to save their dollars, and moving to more affordable housing, in the form of rentals, in more affordable markets.

It is pretty cut and dry, they either paid the rent or they did not.

Get the furnace working, blow hot air, do nothing exterior from December until March unless its a dry day. 

Roof asap and some rotted wood.

Is most of the rot along the bottom of the siding?  

Won’t this cause water to get trapped and cause the wood to mold and rot inside the concrete?

But once that well dries out, these Landlords will be ready to throw them out.

If on the other hand, they don't even come close to passing your screening then cut and dry would probably be the best option.

The owner of the unit above me has been extremely uncommunicative - she was pretty averse to any sort of mitigation action as her HO-6 adjuster told her as long as she dried up the water herself she was "all set", despite my telling her that her subfloor was obviously waterlogged and moldy.
