sometimes you get a faster judgment if you forgo the money damages for possession only.  

If I may ask, what was your main factor / reasons for going full time into real estate investing ?

Calling other small apartment complexes for going rates and utilities. 

Further, the owner felt that by remaining in title ownership he was in a stronger position, so he was much more willing to forgo a significant down payment.The master lessee was able to bring the occupancy up to 80% by providing periods of free rent.  

She may pay her half of the rent but that was not the agreement, the agreement she signed was for the full amount of rent and the fact of the matter is she is responsible for going after him for his half of the rent.

Is the business I work for going to fold?

I might suggest offering a lower rent than what they pay month to month as an enticement for going long term (and that could mean either offering a lower rent than what they pay now, or raise the rent if they want to pay month to month).All those little decisions you'll just have to feel out what works with your place and tenants.

The main factor for going with this unit was obviously price. 

I like @David Song observation.
