I told him he would be arrested for indecent exposure, and that he doesn't get to decide whether I can come to MY house, as stated in the lease and state law that is CITED in the lease that says they have to allow me entry and cooperate with me.

The IRS is easy to deal with, but the owner will also have to cooperate with that one too.

(but) does not preclude the listing broker and cooperative broker from entering an agreement to change cooperative compensation."

I'm typically on Jordan Cooper's calls and there's typically only 10-ish people, which is great for me, because he breaks down all the finances, holding costs, cap rates, etc to help you analyze a deal.  

We handle this situation several times a year as we do project management for our property management clients but if the tenant doesn't want to cooperate and you can't come to terms on a rent discount, you're not going to look good in court. 

Generally, we get pretty good cooperation because we try to make a deal that will allow a departing tenant to get out with the money to find a new place.

If you don’t think you can collect back rent from them, and their cooperation will help you get the mobile home loved quicker, consider telling them you will forgive back rent in exchange for signing some papers to turn title over to you.

@Deanna McCormick It might just come to that, use the resources of the city to fine the landlords that refuse to cooperate in the beautification effort.

Your tenant will become your ally as opposed to your enemy and it's always nice to have cooperative tenants.The final bonus is that when your tenant chooses and then they're upset about their choice in 3 months, you get to say "it was your choice" as opposed to taking the position of "it's my way or the highway".

If he can not cooperate, then tell you he needs to vacate so you can get the work done, or you will be doing the work and moving his stuff as needed, give him formal notice of when the work will start.
