I wouldn't trust that their financial behaviors will change just because you are the new owner.

We actually had the head judge come before our group and apologize to us for the behavior of one judge in particular who ALWAYS favors the tenant.  

Also, I tend to beat myself up mentally sometimes and must be vigilant for this type behavior.

Again it isn't enforced necessarily, but if there are issues at the home that will be one of the codes at their disposal to shut the property down.That's literally what 3 different realtors told me but I still don't believe in luck and good human behavior and want to protect my rear with legality being on my side :) 

As long as you operate within the law, there is no requirement to explain or justify your behavior.

A PM isn't going to change his behavior.

@Meggie, I agreed that a small claim court will be good to get the bad behavior in court.

I prefer not to hire attorneys but when people receive correspondence from attorneys their behavior tends to be quite different.

Would appreciate pm'ing you however contact info is not displayed.

Even when people have threatened the MLS with legal action, they still decline to remove old photos because they know they have legal authorization to display them.
