Indeed, the argument can be made that, as hotel rates go up, there is an opportunity to cater to the budget conscious/strapped traveler who doesn't mind staying in an unappealing area.

I'm a strong believer in possibility consciousness, rather than fear, lack and limitation!

If a landlord does not get the CofC:1) The Building Safety Engineering & Environmental Dept (BSEED) inspectors may issue the following tickets:- No property registration- No city inspection- No lead-based paint inspection- Renting without a CofC2) A landlord can then attend a Department of Appeals & Hearings (DAH) to challenge the tickets, but unless you have an active eviction, your chances are slim.3) Technically, if you start an eviction against a tenant, the court may throw out your case if you do not have a CofC. 4) At any time, a tenant can deposit their rent with the 36th District Court and the landlord will have 90 days to get the CofC.

There will be institutional players that make a conscious choice to manage (and profit from) the inefficiencies of the legal process.

To live in a unit without paying is stealing and under no circumstances should a decent person consciously steal.

@Misael Herrera Granados  A lot of health care workers are safety conscious when traveling.

For the purchase, try to have a general contingency that allows you to terminate for any reason you want not just specific asbestos, etc. it typically also includes environmental, survey, title etc.What is your all in cost projection for the project?

It makes sense for economic, employment, manufacturing cost, environmental and national security reasons.

If you do get audited and the tax court disagrees, the penalties could be significant, which you would then come sue me for.Tough call, but I feel like I would want a determination letter from the IRS before filing to be sure.This article seems to infer that most determination letters related to this circumstance have been approved and you would want to make your case under the "environmental" category. http://www.journalofaccountancy.com/issues/2009/no...

The plastic of the cups was weighing on my minds as I hate water bottle and any kind of unnecessary plastic, especially given my home is in a place where everyone is environmentally conscious.
