In US tax law, the depreciable lifespan of an asset is defined by its MACRS classification which stands for “Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System.”Under MACRS, depreciable assets are assigned to different classes, with each class having a specific recovery period.

The good news is that this is the perfect hidden health and safety inspection item with which to negotiate a price reduction.

Look up the rental laws in Portland, it is a NIGHTMARE for property owners.  

Since I have a family, a career, and a low risk tolerance, I consider this my safety cushion, to where I can sell any of my investments and still recoup my down payment.

PM is lying about the fair housing laws.

Pick up the phone or stop by local code enforcement offices to make sure that you have a crystal clear understanding of local laws and regulations.

This will allow you to get the sheriff involved immediately.If you are already past the notice period then you will probably have to follow whatever state laws are in place for the notification period and possibly the eviction process.

This is an obvious fair housing law violation because you are choosing which prospect get the concession.

Follow the lease and the laws in your state and start the eviction process.

Like @Michael Baum said check on the laws first.
