For you its a matter of semantics, but for the law I would think that would suffice.Or I would issue them a lease violation warning for the unpaid utility bill and then when they don't take the corrective action evict them for lease violations.

Hey - At least they gave you a warning and let you know the situation they're facing!!

Any thoughts/tips/suggestions/warnings/advice is welcomed!

May I warn all the gurus one last time - do not do sub to on VA loans.

.: is trying to rightfully warn you about.

My thoughts are why do we have these folks in the middle such as you warn about?

I was able to give them a warning, and was in a position to negotiate a purchase or refer them to someone who may be able to help them.I would explain their rights and what they could do to delay a foreclosure auction sale.They could:File a counter suit if they feel they have been wronged, that the bank did not credit payments on time.

You get warning signs pretty quick if its going to go south.

Quote from @Kyle Kline: I warn against it for most people.

thanks for the good info. the address of the building is 816 E 90TH PL. something was telling me that my trip to the building department would be unsuccessful ..thanks for confirming my theory. yes the violations require many permits for sure. no the building does not have a red X on it. i believe red X should warn the firefighters about structural damage, previous fire damage etc. what's the process in that case ?
