These are the renters that cause death by a thousand cuts, small infractions or problems but the sheer volume becomes a regular irritant.They constantly complain about "problems" like mold in the corner of their tub that could easily be cleaned or that the neighbor's porch light is too bright and shines right into their bedroomHabitually late with rent.

I highly doubt you would go to jail for the one infraction, that is even if you got caught.If you start a ring of deals where you recruit a bunch of buyers to pose as owner occupants only to flip and pay $10k fines about a hundred times, then I think you might risk jail time.So, to answer your question, yeah, you could probably buy it with the "intention" of occupying it, but then shyt happens, right?
