I was planning to send them a Comply or Vacate notice, which is a 10 day notice in WA.The trickiness of the situation is that the tenants only have 7 days left on the lease.

You may be able to get the city to allow it as a non complying triplex depending on how long it’s functioned that way, what the current configuration is, and whether or not from a building code perspective the units are have the correct fire separation.

And you might want to check with a regular real estate (not necessarily eviction specialist) attorney to make sure that your activities and approach are generally complying with the law, e.g. the RI Mortgage Foreclosure Consultant Regulation.

Moderator note: minor edits made to comply with the rules.

You might find a local bank that keeps the loan on their own books or a finance company, but anyone reselling the loan will have to comply with that rule. 

Simple solution to help people and comply with the constitution is to have the federal government cut rent checks directly to landlords.

If they don't require the drawings to be Certified by a Licensed Architect, you can find someone with drafting/design knowledge to draw the plans for you for your submittal; however, when the Building Department reviews the drawings they will still want to ensure the proposal meets local Building Codes & Ordinances, or if they are the type of department that doesn't do thorough reviews, they could be leaving the liability to You in order to ensure the construction is safe & complies with codes.As a Licensed Architect myself, I recommend you consider the benefits of hiring a licensed professional, even if the building department doesn't require Stamped drawings; however, I realize that depending on how minimal the scope of work is, it may not provide you much additional benefit compared to finding a decent drafter at a lower cost...You may want to check out Upwork.com as well, theres a lot of posts on there for various architectural & drafting gigs all around the world.

@Star-Kayla LewisIf it’s owner financed it will be much more difficult as they would need to comply with Dodd frank.

We had just rehabbed the unit all new drywall primed in white BUT we complied & they are still there 6 years later.

We have a securities attorney partner, but those who lack these resources may have a hard time complying with all of the heap of overhead from FINRA.
