To back up a bit, the water had been shut off for months and they had a plastic tub in the kitchen to catch the rain water coming through the ceiling.

If they ask if they can get the cable company to wire their unit, say, no, I don't want them messing with my walls.There is also a law I researched a while back for someone, that says a tenant can install dish TV antenna, if they have their own patio or outside space.  

And mommy and daddy will probably be the ones paying for it anyway.Be sure and tell them no grill on a balcony or under the roof and not on a covered patio.  

They change the rules (including whether or not you can continue to rent out your unit), they change the amount of the dues, they harass you about the plants you have on your patio....Take it from one who bought a condo expecting to live there forever, and sold it two years later - because of the HOA.Condos are also harder to finance, so they're harder to sell, too.

Obviously water intrusion is the main thing you need to be worried about.Can the PM board that area up or at least cover it with plastic?

Lay a 6-8m plastic out along the wall where you will be removing the siding (on which all the pieces will fall and in which they will be wrapped up).  

They were checking inside    While  I fired up the riding mower ,set high as it would go for first mow and had I wired the plastic guard open so it wouldn't clog up. 

Only one entry way to the lower level, which is to this "kitchenette" space, 2x br with one of the br opened to a below-ground-level-closed-in patio (I know, hard to described and weird setup).
