My landlord has this language in the lease: "Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment will cause landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this rental agreement, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. 

The downside risk of getting in trouble is real, where the upside gain of altruism and goodwill may or may not even be acknowledged. 

Here's what it says:Applicant acknowledges and agrees to the following:Applicant paid $0000.00 on 12/12/2012 as a Holding Deposit for said property.

And thank you for acknowledging that this type of situation could create opportunity for an investor, as I completely agree with you (and is why I'm attempting to pursue the opportunity).I spoke with a local agent and property manager (who I'd likely use to manage the property) and she said the price should be a bit lower than the asking price.If I create this "story" based on comps and bring it to the bank/lender, would that provide enough support for them to give me a conventional loan based on an appraisal?

I thank Jon too, (above comments) for basically pointing out the matters I addressed (and who was acknowledged by several with their votes of confidence).It seems that based on these comments quote, I may not have any bones to pick with Phil Grove's MAPS.

Landlord will not hold Tenant responsible for any additional rent after __________________ once this RENTAL AGREEMENT has been terminated.The undersigned Tenant(s) hereby acknowledges that they have read this Amendment, and understand it, and agree to it in full.

The buyer's lawyer, in an attempt to get back to basics, will normally send over a written statement using something like: "after further discussion, the buyers withdraw their request for repairs or credits and will move forward towards a successful closing" , "Please acknowledge by signing and returning this letter"It's then up to the seller if they want to sign it and continue towards closing or not sign it and move on to other buyers.
