And it's not just the letter of the law, it's the court's interpretation, and how many extra chances they give the tenant in an eviction proceeding, etc.

Also, the contract we signed with all of their requests is full of vagueness, which had been clarified in conversation, but now they are coming back saying different things, interpreting the contract in a way that it benefits them more... ignoring the conversations that we had had.Then there's the electrical contractor who was supposed to "clean up" the handyman wiring in the 1901 house who covered up open spliced wiring with insulation, which I then had to pay another contractor to come and clean up costing me another 800.00.Now, the good news is, as long as the home appraises, I should clear about 26k on the property.

If you look at the one base fee charged by escrow, it is most of the time equal ... although I highly doubt a bank selling one of their reo's that requires you use their escrow is truly paying as much of that base fee as the purchase agreement suggests.I would be a little careful using one title company's definition of a 50/50 escrow fee as a basis for concluding that writing 50/50 on the standard CAR form is going to be interpreted the same by all escrow companies.It's kind of a moot point because however it is interpreted, both buyer and seller, after review, approve and sign escrow instructions and that then becomes the controlling authority for the balance of the transaction.This is hardly something that keeps me up at night.

If your tenants moved out 30 days before the end of the lease, any judge in the world is going to interpret that as your notice that they weren't going to renew.They certainly owe you for that last 30 days, and any damages.

Just be very careful of the wording that it will only be interpreted the way you mean it to be.

Appointed great judges who enforced the laws and didn't re-interpret them.3.Didn't allow the sabre-rattlers to rattle us.

I interpret the word ANY to mean that the magic number is ONE, even if your first one is your only one.

If you have a question about the interpretation or legality of a provision of this agreement, you may want to seek assistance from a Lawyer or other qualified person.Herbster

That is a valid point MikeOH and I never thought of it the way it was interpreted by you (and maybe others).

I don't know if this quite makes sense but I'm still not sure of how to interpret it.
