I would dump your agent like a bad habit.

There are no tenants, as both units have been completely neglected and not habitable.

I make it a habit to pull those signs up/run them over when i see them. 

And what exactly is the harm to the tenant on something like that?

It's "illegal" in my town and in two years of using them, and $112k in flip profits this year, the only phone call from a city official ive recieved was from a city councilman...looking for a wholesale deal lol If you're going to use them, make a habit of it.

The great thing about our partnership is that we are very similar in our goals and spending habits.

Landlords should be wary of this if you are dependent on cashing that check in the very day it is due.Minimum standards of habitability.

It's best practice to get in the habit of shutting off the main water supply before leaving your home for an extended period of time, no matter the time of year. 

I think composting and incinerator toilets walk a fine line with inspectors and habitability codes.

If there is actually a habitability issue, he could sue you too.
