Condition of apartment, is when you take possession.. prior to that you have no claim.Do a walk thru within a week of closing.. and from that point on you deduct for damages..Prior is previous landlord, and looks like he's selling because the people are pigs.. might be hard to get rid of them ??

If you'd like to see what we used, msg me your email and I'll send it along.Some things to consider are not paying until moved out and all keys returned, stating that the property must not be damaged or otherwise change overall condition between signing and vacancy, property must be "broom clean", all possessions left behind are forfeit and will not be held, all tenants regardless of whether they are on the lease must vacate including pets and animals.

Here is some back ground.Tax Certificate, Former Owner is Still in Possession, Bought at 2018 Sale, Residential Structure on PropertyI was going to add casualty insurance to the property but was unsure if I need to wait for Tax Deed for the premiums to be included as an expense with redemption or if I add insurance with a certificate and owner is still in possession if those premiums+interest will count toward an expense at redemption.Any help would be appreciated.
