I am just a newbie, just so you know.Stay tuned my mysterious faced friend. 

In Western NY, there was a case this spring where a tenant attempted murder on another tenant, and the judge would not hear the eviction case, nor would the police remove the tenant.

Unless the felony is that he murdered his landlord.

I am pretty sure I have had two murders about 1 mile from me in the last 4 months and yet the housing is still high priced.  

I only know there are no living relatives because it was quite a story for this little town to have murder.

Ummm, off the top of my head....back taxes, liens on the property, asbestos, termite infestation, a former drug house or a murder at the location, crap neighborhood that no decent person will want to live in.

In the examples you provided environmental issues are caused possibly even health risks, I never heard of a bandit sign that killed somebody or put a hole in the o-zone layer.Yes, it's very extreme, Jwalking to murder difference.

The title company has to disclose where all of the funds are going on the settlement statement, they can't just have line items going to a mystery party.

One thing I do which a lot of people I am sure will disagree with is I introduce myself as the PROPERTY MANAGER and the landlord is some mysterious old man that is demanding.
