As a Christian I can’t see putting my tenants out due to circumstances out of their control especially when they’ve paid rent faithful and on time, but I also can’t carry other cost for them when I have my own non-business related cost to carry.

Don't waste your valuable time chasing rainbows,  keep the faith and keep moving forward. 

You could ask your water Dept but I have little faith in anything Government any more.

Seller agrees that it will not negotiate with any other party for the sale of the Subject Property for a period, the duration of which shall be the longer of (i) thirty (30) days from the date of execution of this Letter by Purchaser, (ii) the review period, and (iii) for so long as Purchaser and Seller are engaged in good faith negotiations concerning the Contract.

I told the two of them who have paid that if we had to evict I would try to inform the judge that they faithfully paid 1/4 of the rent. 

We have been interviewed and have provided a lot of documentation that we did maintenance and inspections in good faith and to code.It's a big waiting game, wish we could get it behind us. 

Maybe to get that contingency in place I put more earnest money down as a sign of good faith and that I'm serious about getting the deal. 

If the tenant believes they did no damage, or less than the manager stated, they should both negotiate in good faith.

While it had a steep learning curve, I am happy I took the leap of faith.

Being able to serve and be faithful to God and my church7.
