Because this clause wasn't in the lease agreement, they closed the case and told me to take it up civilly because they couldn't prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that he wasn't permitted to take everything in the house.  

See what is possible thru Special Use or Variance permits.4. 

Hi @Carlos Rodrigues,Realistically, it's unlikely that sellers will get permits while in escrow.

My second house was under contract before it was even listed, but the combination of my GC disappearing and having to restart the permitting process for the carport in March right at the start of Corona lock downs dragged that out and eventually feel out of contract.

Your policy may also cover soft costs like permit fees and legal expenses caused by delays.

Our average construction time is about 8 months after permit is issued and we are always improving.

It also says under the accessory uses section: "nonhabitable structure requiring a building permit." 

I know for myself and other investors they have had situations where someone in the building department says something verbally but then when you go to get the permits or approval things have changed.

Make sure any renovations comply with local regulations and obtain the necessary permits if plumbing changes are involved.

Similar areas that have legal under utilized permitted space convert to max studios that you can fit.
