Until then my faithful 07 F150 bought it from the city of AustinI didn't even know, that tesla is going to manufacture a truck...saw it now on their homepage...looks like those military cyber vehicles...very futuristic indeed.

Why anyone in the world would want to continue doing that job when they are despised and now under constant threat is beyond me.

Companies like Microsoft have had its fair share of harassment by the DOJ.So even in a free market environment, the government will often identify trends and developments that may put at risk its national security and hence have to act to address the threat  or may intervene to bring about equity and fairness.

Generally in the case of the tenants trying to use the security deposit as rent the threat of eviction is enough to get them to pay up unless they're using their rent money as the deposit on the new place.

If there are threats or uncomfortableness that is local authorities issues not a landlord issue correct?

Some states have laws that address threats from tenants, and I believe the laws need to be amended to address this in Massachusetts.

As stated here, asbestos siding is not a problem as its sole existence on the side of a house is not a danger to anyone, just as asbestos brake pads on a car in a driveway is not a health threat. 

But these together don't pose nearly as much of a threat as we faced last time.Here's my Top 4 Reasons Why The Housing Market Isn't Going To Crash:#1) In 2005, subprime loans totaled more than $620 billion and made up 20% of the mortgage market.

Sometimes the threat of a lawsuit is enough to motivate someone.Too, if the building is less then 10 years old you may have a construction defect claim, wither the builder or their carrier might be willing to throw some money at helping resolve this rather then getting dragged into court or the builder might be able to do a fix at less then the quoted 20k.

@Edward Briley Good points.Regarding the mother's involvement, I would certainly let the daughter out of the lease to avoid conflict and anxiety, but don't think her litigious threats will go very far.
