. • The real property that is being occupied includes a residential dwelling.• An unauthorized person or persons have unlawfully entered and remain or continue to reside on the property owner's property.• The real property was not open to members of the public at the time the unauthorized person or persons entered. • The property owner has directed the unauthorized person to leave the property. • The unauthorized person or persons are not current or former tenants pursuant to a written or oral rental agreement authorized by the property owner. • The unauthorized person or persons are not immediate family members of the property owner. • There is no pending litigation related to the real property between the property owner and any known unauthorized person.

The city's strong rental market driven by a growing population ensures a steady income stream.

PRELIM LAND PLANNING- do a preliminary layout, please remember stream buffers, specimen trees, ANY jurisdictional waters (its a good idea to have you county water systems guy come walk your property with you to verify any jurisdictional water systems and what the required state and county buffers are for those systems).
