Accordingly, per California law the landlord has 30 days to make a repair after receiving notice from the tenant (California Civil Code § 1942(b)).

I would want that to stay with the buildings at no cost, so I don't have to plug holes or get into litigation on your seeking cost recovery.Those and more questions as to the type of lease.

Generally speaking in the U.S. many vices are legal (g*ns, dr*gs, patent trolls, frivolous litigation as extortion, closed hand combat, prej*dice) but evicting squatters is virtually impossible...just jk obvs.

For better limited liability protection, incorporation may be more tempting, particularly if management activities expose you to greater risks, such as litigation involving employees.

So sellers only recourse at that point is full blown litigation all the while the Bent individual is ripping rent  trashing the house etc etc.

@Joey Middlemiss I know nothing about tiny homes but you did say one thing in your post that brought up memories of my previous life as a civil engineer so I wanted to give you a heads up.

Oh I have a lease so it’s a civil matter…..

@Melvin Knight Have you spoken with a civil engineer and land use/zoning attorney to verify the parcels development capabilities?

I've done this in other civil situations (adoption papers, deeds, will, etc) so no problem.

Our next step to proceed in this direction would be to hire a civil engineer to do surveying and site map and that engineer would also see if the creek in the back of the property affects build-ability.
