Most leases allow the landlord to take emergency action to secure the property, and an individual not living there but using your property as a motel would certainly constitute an emergency to me.

One route to a law repealing Costa Hawkins is through the legislature, which was tried already earlier this year and didn't even make it out of committee.The second route is via California's direct democracy route (ballot proposition that leads to a constitutional amendment, which is what Prop 13 was), and all we have so far is activists saying they're sure they can do it.

So just make sure to check the law within your state on what constitutes as a support animal, what documentation you may (or may not) need, etc.

The folks that make PS work have lots of local knowledge and strong constitutions.

It also stipulates code violations, the terms for early payments, what constitutes default, etc.

Not knowing the details of your parents situation it's hard to tell what might constitute good advice. 

Double closing would constitute two escrows and as such, two sets of fees.

Where I'm at we have no REIA and the one time a landlord association was started it was headed by one of the stupidest slumlords around who got his sorry butt dragged into court and went down in flames shouting about his constitutional rights.

It just can turn out that the judge does not agree with where you think the line is and what constitutes clear communication.

It doesn't make any logical sense, and how are you figuring 90%.What I am really asking here is this:Investor goes in and purchases for lets say 50% LTV, say 55% after fees.Sells off to seller with some troubled credit at 80% LTV and agrees to carry the 2nd knowing or intending full well on writing off the 2nd as a loss or liquidating it at a fraction of face value if the buyer doesn't follow through.The way I am viewing it, it wouold seem that the bank with the 1st is in the primary position to benefit from there not being a 2nd position note as it provides additional revenue to the 1st position holder for thier payments, but it doesn't constitute fraud.
