Personally, I would just move on, then you can have the moral high ground when she claims how heartless you are, but you are probably entitled to enforce your contract.

Your own personal ethics/morals need to govern.That being said, I agree with the other posts in that your partnership arrangement with your father is not clear. 

My opinion: I think this would hurt morale.

As landlord's, we have a responsibility to maintaining the property as well as moral and ethical responsibilities to the tenants. 

But my theory in this situation is you would be relieving your current landlord from repairs, and the moral obligation of knowing he has to do the repairs.

He like me believes this is morally wrong (and it pisses him off) however it is the real world and bitching about it doesn't help anybody. 

-Create a positive morale in the building - decorate for the seasons. 

The moral of the story is, me and my potential clients lost out on an opportunity because some big girl or big boy out there had the guts to pull a trigger sight unseen.

I think that's the cleanest way to do it, without you having to make any enemies, unless you don't want to put the seller in that predicament, which I can understand.If you don't want to go that route, then cash for keys may be the best option.

I told her that she's not contractually obligated to list with him, but she feels morally obligated that if she let me look inside the homes then she needs to get him involved.
