As far as the companies that are still there, it's down to slim-pickings.

That is how you do it.As far as landlording the chance of a major tenant problem is really very slim. 

There are just too many risks and the margins are too slim to continue with this deal.

There is potential for cashflow in Prince George, I've lived here and in northern BC my entire life, but flow can be very slim.

The odds of them following through and taking you to small claims court in slim to none. 

But, the odds of a tenant spending the time to figure out if you're really the owner - really slim.  

On the slim chance of them being legit (even though they aren't acting that way by refusing access to you), perhaps that would help motivate them to get out.

I'll take my chances on the slim possibility I may get caught in the rain without a coat.If a vacancy occurs it is built into my expenses and is dealt with as opposed to cutting my profits to avoid the reality that vacancies may occur.

The odds of HUD saying you must allow a male to move into an all-female household who doesn't want him there - are ridiculously slim.  

But, the other party could say that since you didn't address it at any time during the negotiations and closing, that you had accepted that part of the great deal you were getting, included taking over the responsibility for the deposit.I don't think it would be worth paying your lawyer to write a letter over, because I think your chances of winning are slim.
