"If unforeseen rot, deterioration, insect damage or poor structure is found and is found that it is necessary to replace the disturbed area, not included in this scope of work, an Additional Work Agreement will be written at such time for such repairs and costs will be due payable prior to work being completed.

This tenant pays early and is generally a very good tenant so I can't recall and would prefer to take care of matters myself so as not to disturb her further.

The most disturbing thing is there is a human being out there who looks at that and doesn't see a problem.

There’s no HOA and I do have on the lease rules about quiet times being from 10 pm to 8 am and that if too much peace disturbance could result in breaking the rules.

For my own piece of mind and that of my contractors, I would have an asbestos evaluation done if the rehab was likely to disturb any, IE tearing up floor tiles, siding or shingles, but I'd be weary of hiring anyone that also does asbestos remediation as they are likely to overstate/upsell. 

I've been doing some research and for asbestos you're required to do testing if you're disturbing more than a certain square footage or linear feet, and it's very minimal. 

But the number of people I have met who honestly assume that their property is more valuable because their tax assessment went up significantly is disturbing.

Things like "no internal showings", "cash only", "Do not disturb tenants", "property to sell AS/IS", "All contents go with the property", "Barn is a safety hazard do not go within 50 feet" are all terms I have used on the MLS.

@Marci SteinSo which towns are better with rentals that is not disturbed by the summer visitors?

Is it reasonable to assume that a cease and desist order is related to noise or some sort of public disturbance rather than a violation of a code that does not exist?
