But now Cleveland is proposes to require investors alone to prove that the home they bought is lead safe.Gwen, I once had the city of Euclid tell me that the property could not be rented until all cracks in the driveway (minor cracks) were sealed.

I use it as one of a couple ways to inspect the units - smoke detector batteries every 6 months.That being said- NJ has just changed it’s code and we are to use 10 year sealed batteries going forward & with new tenancies.

I see youre sealed, and I'm not trying to change your mind.

I would send her a notice - and post it on her door in a sealed envelope - that her rent is past-due, a late charge is being assessed per the lease, and that in order to avoid eviction, she will need to remit payment now - and forever after by the 1st (or whenever) of the month. 

I would think there is some sealing that would work on foundation walls, but my research isn't bringing up a for sure answer. 

Also for whatever reason the appraiser listed the bathroom as "remodeled" even though there was obvious wood rot on the floor and the bathtub wasn't properly sealed to the wall.

@Daniel ClaroniPlease be careful if you are going the ozone route- that can kill anything living as well as ruin rubber seals.

If it does not require a notary public seal, just sign it, and make sure to add after your name trustee or partner (if applicable) if in trust or llc.

Insulation upgrades and sealing leaks in the house are great as well

The seals on the windows were all shot (20+ windows) and it was an overlooked cost, which ended up accounting for an additional $4,100 in addition to other miscellaneous contingencies such as the garage door repair and appliances, which we simply forgot to include.
