Losses are inherent in any investment process; the key is to limit the size of the loss in order that you have more marbles to play with when good times return.

"reglazing" MIGHT last 3-5 years; fiberglass 4-8 years; a proper ceramic (or cultured marble) surround should easily last 20+ years.

As for the tow company you need to reference FLA Statue 715.07, specifically 1a.

It is not likely that this is some mistake.  99.9999% that you loose here, not to be a jerk but rather to be really clear.The ideas presented back in the thread about possible statue of limitations do not stand.  

All newly constructed dwellings of four or more units are exempt from Rent Control for 30 years, as per State statue; however the Landlord must also apply for a certificate of exemption in order to verify their exemption status.

Or marble in that price range...

Typically, there is a statue of limitations which begins with the actual filing date, so if the filing hasn't been done, there's no statute in place yet.

Then I hang marble tiles on the lip, in front of the tub and continue on the floor.

Fortunately, there's currently an 8 year statue of limitation on occupancy rights.

Gotta love Lowe's...I just argued this 60inch down to $150 for a SFR rehab.We were looking at a very basic 60inch for $395 with a cultured marble double sink top we stole for $89.
