I personally live my life by the famous quote "its easier to ask for forgiveness than permission" so outside of the laws look at an areas economy, sports venues, college towns, etc.

Several interior items were easy to fix which I said I would do except one thing I said I had to request permission from the HOA.

Under Georgia statue, I can only access the premise without permission in cases of emergency. 

Simple as that.He's not asking for permission, he's asking for help and advice.

Neighbor has been using the driveway with permission... so there has been no easement created by prescription. 

Because I was with American Tenant Screen for many years, I was vetted, and I had an office visit from them, so I don't need the tenants permission for a credit report, I just go online and request one.So far, I have no complaints for ClearNow.There is another service, called Cozy that's much discussed on this site.

I also sublet two rooms in my apartment with the landlords permission.

These new tenants have contacted my property manager, and asked permission to have garage doors with openers professionally installed and to sheet rock and insulate the garage at their own expense.

If the 'flip manager' has to get permission for every $1, they are basically acting as communications conduit and probably frustrating the GC since they just want an answer.

You cannot do that without written permission.
