Thats part of the NAR/DOJ consent decree on IDX technology thats almost 20 years old now. it was around 2020/2021 that each got licensed as brokerages. 

Moreover i believe First National admitted that although no law permits this practice (unjust enrichment) claimed that Daly had tacitly or otherwise consented by way of making payments on his mortgage for so many months.

The hearing was a joke, and as predicted and noted in the earlier post, in spite of not showing me any law the city recommended action for revocation to the director.

That said, we have seen the following work:An attorney prepares a land trust (intervivos revocable trust) for the subject property and after the deed into trust is recorded, the trustee (the seller) will quit their trustee position, and the beneficiaries (usually the seller) name a new trustee (the buyer) and transfer their beneficial interest to the buyer.By using the trust, one legally avoids the due-on-sale clause.

99.5% of loans are NOT assumable without lender consent.  

Other things in his LOI were that we grant another option, that we refund the security deposit, that we allow unlimited assignment without us granting consent, etc..I'll go with your option #1 above and simply decline his other proposed changes and see if we can preserve the Renewal concept at a new rate that bakes in his commission (and then some) - if he wants to earn that commission, let him go and sell the package to the tenant.
