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.

This go around, he has 3 hired maintenance guys and an accountant that should take relief out of the daily happenings.

A landlord shall be liable to a tenant in a civil action for treble damages plus the tenant’s attorney fees and costs, and any other appropriate legal or equitable relief, if: (1) the landlord serves the tenant with notice alleging the landlord seeks to personally occupy the rental premises under subsection g. of 46A:15-1, after which the tenant vacates the rental premises and the landlord arbitrarily fails to personally occupy the rental premises or to effectuate a contract of sale for the rental premises within six months, but instead permits personal occupancy of the premises by another tenant or registration or conversion of the premises by the Department pursuant to The Planned Real Estate Development Full Disclosure Act, N.J.S. 45:22A-21 et seq.; or (2) the landlord who is a purchaser of the rental premises pursuant to a contract that requires the tenant to vacate in accordance with subsection g. of 46A:15-1, after which time the tenant vacates the rental premises, thereafter arbitrarily fails to personally occupy the rental premises within six months, but instead permits personal occupancy of the premises by another tenant or registration of conversion of the premises by the Department pursuant to The Planned Real Estate Development Full Disclosure Act, N.J.S. et seq.; or 

I have some concerns about this inquiry being turned into a request for relief but I would probably just counter at $27k, if that is my number, and be done with it.

I have checked into all the issues that you posted about, so thats a relief to know that this company passes all of these boxes for a true turnkey company.
