I think you need to look at a notice to cure (or whatever is appropriate in your state).This just happened about a week ago in PA. 5 children died in a daycare, which looks to be in a residence. 

Tell him as part of your written notice that if it is not cured immediately, you will move out in 60 days That gives him 30 days to cure and you 30 days to move out.If it doesn't stop, then move out.Above all, don't blame the woman's cat.

The lawyer can also help with a Cure or Quit notice that can either start the process or possibly fix it.

I have to think you would have the RIGHT to fix it and cure the issues..  

It will just foul up the chain of title and you will be asked to cure the defect for up to 25+ years after the fact. 

The lease violation needs to be very specific, state that you will not renew his lease if he gets 3 within a 12 month period of time and that curing the lease violation will not stop you from not renewing.

If you, as buyer, object to certain survey matters (as may be provided for in your contract), it would be unreasonable to ask the seller to cure said objection when he/she has no survey to review.

@Rod Hanks Most actionable post on this thread.I created the PETIO model as a format to quickly assess a wide variety of situations:Property - Estimate of as-is and after-repaired valueEquity - estimated balances of all mortgages, cost(s) to cure, payments/mo.

Actually Bryan, IMO, I would put it at about 1 in 20, 25 at best, where mistakes or just outright fraud was involved.When you consider that the lender has an obligation to seek remedies other than foreclosure, called collections, most banks won't answer inquiries, and trustees race to the courthouse steps to get paid a per centage of the sale, not an houly fee if payment mistakes are are cured.

The smell is so bad that I am affraid that it will create an issue with the new tenant moving in If I cannot cure it.
