Plumbing issue had to get a plumber out that could clean the main drain, pulled out about 3ft of roots in our main drain so that something we'll have to do once a year now. 

E.g. sewer got backed up because tree roots grew into it - landlord pays.

I just responded to a post with regards to "income source" as being excluded as a reason for a rental denial, but it is rooted in a fear of "perceived" illegal discrimination.I noticed that immediately the advice is to (essentially) avoid denying, and take other applications so you can hopefully approve someone else who is more qualified.

So, dealing with and negotiating about the violations I think would be wasted time and energy - since it does not address the root issue - your overdue payments. 

I quietly rooting for you.  

IE companies holding them selfs out as PM without a license or some mom and pop that has 30 to 50 homes under management of which there is no familial connection.. those are the ones that get rooted out over time.

We also buy in what are considered "****** little towns" where people don't want to have permanent roots.

When someone asserts that they own a deceased persons real estate, it's often more revealing about the individual's loud ignorance than rooted in fact.Follow Wayne and Guy's suggestion and let the title company render their opinion of title. 

@Shawn Root Hi Shawn.

The city claimed it was caused by tree roots.
