Unlike a judge - who has seen every tenant scam in existence hundreds of times - the case is decided by a jury, who may well think that landlords are widows-and-orphans-evicting scum.

A sob story - widow with four children.

I don't know who has been cashing those rent checks since August (maybe the owner's widow).However, I would be interested in seeing my options for purchasing the house if there's a way it can be a decent deal.

From a recent police report I obtained a phone number for the widow and called her.

Shorting YEN has been a widow maker since debt/gdp approached 100%.

Been in 3 lawsuits...won 2 settled Insurance company wanted to settle the other.My investors have been with me for so long I now make payments to 7 widows in there late 70s to early 80s...and I take care of everything for them cause I promised their late husbands I would...and I do.I have borrowed and repaid over $80,000,000 in my 18 year career...one house at a time.Now I know there are people out their that are bigger...but there is no one better.What is it with some of you guys.

That was costly, time consuming and very stressful for his widowed wife.

You may have to build either a dormer in the roof and use a traditional casement widow or a platform level with the ground at the "hatch" with catwalk to the edge of the building and escape stairs/ladder.

ADOM was ~40 days so probably not an indication of a "strong" rental market (most homes in the neighborhood are indeed owner occupied), but maybe just enough of a demand to allow us to lease it out for a couple years before letting the property go.The other issue is that we probably won't be able to move out of the current house until late Sept / early Oct, so might miss the "summer move-in" widow just slightly...

The Widow Brown case, which is memory serves was from Columbia, PA, not only set precedents, but also caused a re-write of the tax sale law.
