Lesson learnt.Tenant is current on rent, produced an ESA letter last night for pet and Tenants insurance was mandated by me in lease so he has that.I do have a clause that says - 60 days of written notice is required on either side for lease breakage.

@Treza Edwards, your lender will often mandate specific inspections to lend on a commercial property.  

Our property has HOA-mandated fences and faces a lake.  

Is there a housing shortage or is there really a problem with the BARRIERS caused by productivity, land use, zoning and mandates that limits construction?  

. #922-2, pp. 86–95) (noting that upwards of 90% of transactions on the Subject MLS offer buyer agent commissions of exactly 3% during the class period, with the exception of the MARIS MLS consistently offering 2.7%)....Although it is true that a nominal commission of $1 would satisfy Section 2-G-1 and Defendants agree such nominal commission is mandated, Plaintiffs have produced evidence that no transaction within the Subject MLS took place using a nominal commission.

HCD has no bite, but they would send a cease and desist letter to any entity that is trying to remove a safe unpemitted unit as their mandate is the protection of the various housing mandates from over zealous local jurisdictions.  

Another unfunded mandate?

Not every state or city mandates that any landlord has to accept Section 8, because the landlord has to not only subject their property to Section 8 inspections, rules and regulations, they also often have to separately arrange for the tenant to pay the non-covered part of the rent and can face difficulty evicting just based on that.

The law does not mandate that banks have to exercise their right to Due on Sale."

Add in many/most jurisdictions are (I believe incorrectly applying the law) mandating the existing structure be rent controlled (assuming it is over 15 years old).The reality is virtually all RE investments will do better than adding an ADU.
