If he agreed in the AOS to provide you with a clear Certificate of Occupancy, then you can void the agreement if he refuses to do the work or pay you to do the work by adjusting the sale price.

I need to find this person ASAP however as I would still like this to be done within my inspection timeframe.The property is newly renovated and has been on the market for several months and we are concerned as there is already mold developing along the baseboards in the basement and drywall in the utility room (also basement level). I

Mine is an AO Smith and its only 50 gallons, but I can take 3 back to back showers and it still doesn't kick on the resistance heat or run out of hot water.

I would like to know as much as possible that can take me to the next level.*I

This town doesn't support that rent level. I

Expenses add up fast at that vacancy level (I know - I lost a tenant this year and holding killed me for a while).

I want to find price to rent ratios for my local area, down to block level, or neighborhood level.  I

I have only rejected 2 offers i was given but i asked for another rent comparable review and had the tenant complain loudly and ask for assistance in getting the rent bumped to a level i would accept so they can move. 

@Kenny Durrant On a practical level, I think some of this has to do with the definition of "offering to help" and "keeping an eye out". 

It's funny, but when I make an analogy about something I did with a financial transaction to my friend who is an Emergency Doctor, he always tells me that's not apple to apple... in the Emergency room, the patient can die.... the Stress level is vastly different.In this case, Yes, my Brokerage can get sued, but no one is going to die.I would say a better analogy would be going Pro Se (acting as your own lawyer) from reading books, hoping to win a case in Tenant/Landlord court in New York City.I've done that twice.The first case the tenant did not show up.
