It is also permissible by regulation to 1099 the GROSS rental amount to the owners and have them deduct your commissions on their schedule E.

I'd also check with your attorney to be sure a rent increase is permissible with the moratorium in place. 

However, when we send a notice we are not asking for the tenants permission, we are telling them when we are coming to the property and what we will be doing.

Inspectors need your permission to come into the house .

Your tenants don't have to give you permission to come in and do repairs to your property.

I have 2 examples of recent homes that I have talked with the owner on one (and inspected the property with my contractor) and the other one I called Building & Safety and actually talked with the guy who posted the sign.With the one I inspected, the owner had tenants that did not pay for 9 months and the Sheriff recommended that they have the property "Condemned" then the Sheriff can force them out, otherwise they would have to go through the motions of the court (which are in the tenants favor in OR).The other one that I talked with Building & Safety about was "Condemned" because there was a homeless person living in the home (with the owners permission) without electricity or trash pick-up...as you can imagine the trash piled up and as far as safety they had candles for light which was not safe so they "Condemned" the home basically for the same reason, eviction.Bottom line is you need to do your due diligence.

If you're using the C.A.R purchase contract in California, you need to get the Seller's permission to Assign the contract FYI

After I finish the basement, I can rent it out as another bedroom at the least while I wait for permission to call it a separate unit. 

The net sale price is your $500K sale price less permissible selling expenses such as broker's commission, title insurance charges, escrow fees or closing attorney fees, recording fees, 1031 Exchange fees, etc.
