Do you think that there is another way to lay it out where we could have better bathroom/laundry placement without compromising usable space?

Through compromise a deal will be reached and the tenant will leave.

I hope you are able to find a compromise that works!

I set my screening standards and never compromise on them.

life is a matter of compromise.

Usually I look for a little bit higher cap rate, but due to the fact that he is open to terms, I am willing to compromise too.  

At least if there is logical compromise it would seem that an easy compromise would be to simply bolster the current RAFT program or Section 8 via individual housing authorities and give them the power to screen and issue some type of temporary COVID housing voucher to pay the rent. 

However, I don't compromise on how rent is collected.

It sounds like you won't be able to fully block the development if they only need minor zoning changes, so maybe try to get a compromise of some sort.

Since I intend to go after the tenant as his creditor (he has a job, and I have a track record of success in “offer and compromise,”) I asked MSHB for the original application.
