The law will enforce the lease agreement, as long as it legally abides by your jurisdiction's landlord laws.For future tenants, adding a type of "escape clause" only benefits the tenant.

First thing anyone should know when they sign a contract and put down some money is what are their escape clauses, what are they locking into no matter what, and what are the deadlines for the above.

They have recently spring forth as two new iterations/websites to try to escape their reputation and keep ripping off investors- The other two current names are Real Estate Federal, and Real Estate Leads and Appointments.

@Gabriel Galarza So long as this is purely a case of an agent causing mischief and you have the contractual ability to withdraw (an 'escape' clause).

Hello All, new member who's been reading and self-educating through BP for several weeks and I believe BP could be my ticket out of the rat race ! 28 years old in Ohio looking to learn the game and become financially ...

property is a duplex with a attic studio. now the attic studio has a separate entrance but no fire escape so that is a liability. however I will be house hacking and living in the attic and can't sue myself lol.The units seem extremely well kept from a first perspective a very well taken care of property it has off street parking and 3 parking slabs in the back. each unit is 2 bedroom 1 bath. avarage rent in the area I've seen 725 and 950 I've looked on centimeter and 800 850 is about avarage.

Each dwelling unit must have one main egress door, as well as each sleeping room, basement and habitable attic must have a means of emergency escape (door or egress window).Additionally, the code (IBC) for 3+ units is much, much more strict than the code for 1-2 unit buildings (IRC). 

It's critical that you understand your local codes or you might run into something that is, for all intents and purposes, unfixable.With one of my moves, I ran into a daylight requirement (window SF / room SF) and a need for fire escape-ready windows.

There are some towns out there that are good for low to middle class, decent job market, and somehow managed to escape the real estate bubble.

Or breadwinners in less-advantaged countries who could finally escape the shackles of poverty by starting a small business with the help of a micro-loan?
