Insist on using my rods?

This ensures you have complete control of the situation and can "train" the tenants instead of trying to correct what the past Landlord did.If you insist on trying to keep the current tenants, my recommendation is to give them notice of the rent increase and new lease.

Actually,  I've always insisted on the same in every Seller finance, carry back, etc. transaction.  

So when I must I insist on meeting the dog and that it remain crated while the owner is gone.Several years ago I had a prospective tenant tell me he had some sort of exotic pet license and had several poisonous snakes.

When you ask for revenue and expense numbers from the seller, tell him you must see tax returns....of course he will probable say "it's a cash business, so some may not get reported, etc", but the only thing to really go by are the tax returns.If he insist the numbers are really better,  tell him he signed the tax return that they are accurate (if he will lie to the IRS that can throw him in jail, he will lie to a prospective buyer)

I think based on the points made it's in my best interest to insist on having my name listed as an additional interest on the policy.

Insisting on inspecting a prospective tenant's current home before leasing?  

I guarantee you can take that same scenario to most HUD offices and they will still insist you accept the ESA.It's much easier to pass it on to Petscreening.com and let the professionals do the work and make the decision.

Or find a set of friends that won't insist on having fancy dinners at expensive places and expect everyone to pay their own way.

This guy is brain dead & based on the look of the roofing tile regardless of condition he can insist it's to be replaced.
