Quote from @Don Bessette: I have a 30 plus year tenant that can not keep up with maintaining their unit, it is filthy inside and in desperate need of renovation, all systems are in good repair and I respond very quickly when issues are brought to my attention.It is also well below market rent, and they struggle to pay the current rate.Looking for suggestions on how to gently proceed with the notification to move. 

A 2 +1 is a legal 2-family with a boarder unit that can be lived in by the owner, usually without a stove and you want to make sure the bathroom is permitted.I hope that helps.

Just communicate and it is not an issue.

Aloha,There are a couple of issues here.

Because if had I been informed of the issue prior to Dec. 12, I would have been able to back out of the transaction and walk away with my money.

Even if they have a public record in your county, they may have issues in another county that are not disclosed.

An LLC is useful for two things: anonymity and legal protection.

The contractors who do work for me have zero issues with me sourcing the material if disclosed up front and not holding them accountable for any material issues.  

Theft is a HUGE issue there ..

Team of people watching notifications and contacting guests and if necessary going out to property to address issues.
