But, also feel free to call code enforcement.I'm sure there are laws already in place for tenants to get relief for landlords who don't fix things.  

Mistake #1 (Never agree to anything contrary to code or out of personal relief).  

Not fool proof, but it did give me some relief.  

After struggling through arduous months of fighting arrogant dirt bag professional tenants it should be pure pleasure to exercise final authority.Winning should be a celebration not simply a relief.

Messing with any of that, from these homeowner's point of view, is likely to remove any relief they 'might' obtain from the mortgage companies in the first place.  

@Matt Faix I may be mistaken, since this isn't my expertise, but I believe you can get some relief on you taxes for the loss.

This could be a great relief is she wants out.

Side note.This kind of thing will make getting a management company a relief at some point. 

They were a pain in every other way, though, and it was a relief when they left.

My husband and I recently became interested in real estate investing as a form of tax relief.
