I'm considering buying a property in Southern Maine that is about 5,000 sq ft too small to legally subdivide per the town's zoning rules.

This is legal and will get the job done.

What are we legally required to prorate/deduct in rent considering it is their only shower and will not have one for 3 days?

Harassing your tenant on being late, when they are not actually late will end up with him having legal action against him.

Having clear guidelines in your lease about pool maintenance responsibilities is also key.On another note, if you’re thinking about refinancing to switch up your financing strategy for the rental, I’d be happy to connect.

Quote from @Kathleen Park: I recommend you educate yourself on "ordinary wear-and-tear" vs damages, depreciation, and your state laws.Do yourself a favor: buy "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO.

Is there a legal timeline to update current investors about a significant change in the investment?

Are the 2 bedrooms in the basement legal?

And of course, I should note that I'm not an attorney so don't take any legal advice from what I say.
