You may be able to offer them some cash to let you out of the contract, and that may be far cheaper than dealing with a lawsuit. 

Get a specialist. 8 Failure on your part to take action may open you up to a lawsuit from your residents.

It has 3 bedrooms on the first floor, 3 bedrooms on the second floor and an in law suite on the third floor with its own bathroom and kitchen. at 270k it seems like a good enough deal.

I won the lawsuit but this selling agent was kept out of it because my insurance company didn't want to spend more going after him even though they could have.

I can pay all of them off but that's risky, exposes you to more risk of lawsuits.

Occasionally there are towns that are more lenient and will grandfather it in or allow you to use it as an “in-law suite”.

It may be good to add provisions to your lease (perhaps you could require a medical condition be certified by a physician) so that all tenants are treated equally and you protect yourself from lawsuits.  

I'm sure this process varies by state, city etc. but figured I would take a crack at the forums to see what I could learn.I've found a SFH in the Myrtle Beach, SC area that has a "mother-in law" suite that has been built with a separate entrance, separate electric meter etc.

If you don't maintain them properly you lose in a lawsuit anyway.Use umbrella insurance starting out.

Higher taxes, rent control new regulations, open border, increase in renter rights, lawsuits, property values down, increase inspections, loss of property rights, social  ownership, a nightmare.
