Landlord will promptly respond to Tenant request for repairs but will not be monetarily responsible for tenant disruptions or inconveniences during habitable times of repairs or tenant/guest injuries incurred in or around obvious areas of maintenance, repairs, or construction.

The husband was not working due to legitimate injury.

I agree wholeheartedly that the potential for injury or even loss of life is much more troubling than loss of property.

The two things I need to accompihs that is loan satisfied and the deed.Getting the deed now seems unlikely as the property owner/deed-holder's legal counsel tells her:  "Do Not get involved - you could muddy the results of your successful bankrupcy and anyway;  why stick your neck out."

I am now on disability for a back injury (Ruptured and herniated discs).

Lots of the housing stock in my neck of the woods is very old. 70+ years.Lots of things are different.Cast Iron pipes.Knob & Tube wires.Plaster walls.Biggest problem we see is when the cast iron pipes start to rot out.

Either way, you need to narrow your criteria because if you leave it too broad you'll be spending too much time snapping your neck looking at everything that comes on the market and could be too slow to find any great deals.

Running into issues made my neck hurt believe me but stay laser focused on your goal and understand that this is minor.

Sorry @Jay Wright no experience in your neck of the woods.

Not everyone will stick their neck out, I do, at the drop of a hat.
