Same thing happened where I am in areas where there were fires that destroyed towns or in areas where hail storms are more frequent.As for blame, there is no point blaming anyone, just learn from what happened and try to prevent it again (not fires because they will happen, but things like running out of water) or reduce the damage if it does happen again at that scale. 

No money troubles but I did lose my whole family earlier this year and dealing with some health issues as well so I don't really appreciate his extra unnecessary unwarranted crap everytime I have to deal with him and really im just trying to save my home, it's all I have left.

I only give them a short time (usually 5 days total from the contract to hold) to meet for the lease signing before they lose their exclusive rights to the unit, so this prevents someone from dragging their feet after they've signed the contract to hold.Once the lease is signed, I take down the ads and send out emails to people in mid-marketing flow letting them know that the apartment has been rented but I will reach out if something falls through.

Next steps are to put down a roll of plastic to prevent moisture or wet floors. 

While I certainly understand the need for a company to do an audit, particularly for the REIT, I am not sure why that would slow down or prevent rent moneys being paid for rent on joint ventures.
