These items will often become permeated with liquids or even just odors forcing their removal from the unit.

I will try and post more so that I can take advantage of the expertise and networking that permeates through these pages.

The cigar smoke in the adjoining property has permeated to the property that I am interested in purchasing.

If this happens, and the finishing work is completed by a GC, making the place new again, the smell of smoke will permeate throughout the property once the weather turns hot & humid.

X who puts her nose 1 inch from the doorknob and smells it, then proclaims the whole house smells like smoke is very different than a true permeating odor of smoke throughout the unit.Having others come over and smell for it will give you (some kind of) an idea if it need to be abated (or not).Offering to let them out of the lease before move in (if turned down) seems to nullify the need to (try to) abate the smoke smell.

I even find severe urine can be in the walls, from both peeing/spraying on lower walls and trims and I think (not sure exact science) it even permeates surfaces of sheet goods (like sheetrock, paneling etc).

Sorry, but I'm an old timer who just doesn't hold to the politically correct crap that permeates our judicial system these days.

Even if they don't smoke on the property, the smoke permeates their clothing and the odor can foul the unit.

Prevent water permeation.

It’s one of the biggest disservices that permeates real estate investing.
