Mold is linked to respiratory issues in young, old and immune compromised and suspected in more. 

There's a bunch of construction bills still needing to be paid on my house (due to a contractor going way over budget without permission...another story) so time is of the essence, but I don't want to compromise and get a bad tenant.

Anyone have any creative suggestions to possibly reach a compromise? 

Even then, I've caught people in compromising situations.You should also let the tenant know that if they refuse to let you change the filter, they can be held liable for any repairs resulting from a dirty filter and that it may be grounds for termination.Your lease should clearly stipulate your right to enter and perform maintenance as well as the Tenant's liability if they fail to allow regular maintenance.

There has been more than 1 long discussion, especially when thanksgiving came around and Christmas being right around the corner, but we have come together at a compromise.

I am OK with that you might not be.Baltimore county might be the best compromise for you when it comes to risk, cash flow, affordability and potential for appreciation. 

I would be sitting down with your landlord and working out some form of compromise on showing notifications acceptable to all.

@Benjamin Couchnah man. been married and divorced so yea i don't have the same trust that others in here might. i probably set myself back 7 years by putting that persons goals before mine and wound up left holding the bag anywaymarried or not never, i mean never, do anything remotely close to putting yourself in a compromising financial position behind a relationship. that person can leave at any moment there's absolutely nothing stopping them.

The integrity of the pipe has been compromised.

Things like sound deadening, floor plans and privacy can be compromised by the conversions.
