In that case, the taxpayer had individuals testify to his character and work in court, which is an unusual scenario and highlights the difficulty of making such a claim.If the TP cannot qualify for REPS, they may still be eligible to claim material participation in the deals, even with less than 5% ownership in some of them.

Testify!

If you and Michael are willing to testify at an administrative hearing, if necessary, I will need to confirm some contact information from you and Michael to include in the file for our Legal Section.

I have been to the legislature and city council meetings to testify against the so-called ‘tenant protections’ that are damaging rental opportunities for marginal tenants.There is no “right answer” for you, but here are a few considerations.1.

Assuming my lease had the right notice language on method and address, I'd be directing my attorney to challenge anything the tenant does in court because the court must enforce the lease as written and it can't be modified without a written modification (I have lease clauses for this and that the lease is an integrated contract so they also can't testify on facts outside the contract terms or that something else was verbally agreed to, etc.).

I was unable to file any tax filings because he engaged a new accountant whom also had a JD and testified against me in divorce after stating he was not conflicted.  

I am concerned with rent control as well....The lease is for one yearI know from basement tenant that they signed lease with the sister (but the lease has previous owner's name)if it is fraud - it will be her word against minebasement tenant are probably here illegally and I doubt they would testify

Does the landlord have to be present in court to testify?

An appraiser can testify as to the before and after values, assuming you can tell him what was done.
