Is there a way to remove him from the mortgage without refinancing?

We removed a few walls and made it an open concept home.

I went back through all my numbers for 2024 and subtracted all the construction costs of improvements we have made and found quite a bit... so once I remove all that net profit looks like $110k. 

That entails removing it from the lot and placing it in a storage area.

If you ask the manager to justify a fee and he starts hemming and hawing, move on or require them to remove the fee.

Don’t forget to take into account utilities including internet, lawn maintenance, snow removal, etc. into consideration.

I find it less work to go and trim the grass, snow removal, etc.

Stores like Home Depot or Ace will have products specifically designed for removing difficult adhesives, but you can also DIY with household products.

While some leases say they will remove all evidence the sign was there and restore to original condition, I doubt that happens in bankruptcy for example. 

A scope is especially important on properties where the sewer line would be particularly expensive to replace (for instance, if the sewer line replacement would require breaking up and re-pouring a driveway, or removing numerous mature trees--these things can cost significantly more money above and beyond the cost of replacing the sewer line).
