He agreed to pay 165k and reimburse me for my earnest money and the cost of inspection.

Also, they may offer to reimburse you for your fees after your first or second sale.  

In my mind its not worth the hassle to make a big stink about it now since the agent has agree to provide the needed funds to close out of their commission or has offered to reimburse you.

Landlords can also be responsible for snow removal, upkeep, landscaping with tenants reimbursing expenses.

Under another section, that's not really relevant, but I'm bringing up just so you can see how the court views having to pay for a displaced tenant - it says if the tenant has to go to a hotel, they won't be charged rent, but also won't get reimbursed any more than what their rent would have been for the same period.It's under another remedy, but my point is that a situation regarding a tenant ending up in a hotel is covered under Chicago law, and in that situation, the landlord only has to reimburse them what the amount of their rent would have been.But, as you can see by the law above, the law doesn't require the landlord to pay for a hotel room when it's a casualty loss, and not because of landlord neglect, etc.

Even if the bill is put in your personal name, just reimburse yourself out of your business so you're covered.  

I was wondering what the benefit of bidding a premium is since the property owner does not have to reimburse the premium of the lien. 

I do know that in many states, the owner must reimburse you for legal fees when they redeem.
