Just to twist it a little further they are now putting in an offer 1k less than my agreed upon contract.Front row seats to experience.

I have all the equations for the standard metrics, but my math isn't strong enough to twist them backwards to calculate a maximum offer based on the desired metric.  

Just be gentle....

@Ken Rishel - wouldn't that be an ironic twist!  

@Jessica Zolotorofe  that what I thought but its not the case in Indiana.. there is no liquidated damages in the RMLS forms.. and they can and will sue you to perform... on 3 homes we had in contract.. my agent and the seller got in a twist ..

That’s the twist; not what they can do for you but what you can do for them.

As for procedures, do talk to a local RE attorney though.....there may be other twists in NC law I know nothing about.

There are a ton of twists on this, but the concept is simple enough.

Absolutely don't respond to any communications from your tenant; as you see everything you've ever said or done is being twisted in ways you probably never thought was possible. 

Then when "Billy" suggests getting on the roof you can gently remind him that getting on the roof is prohibited by the lease and while he would probably do a wonderful job you have to enforce the lease uniformly or risk a fair housing claim from the government.
