Just got the smoking gun ;-)Copy of email by my closing agent in 2009, asking for payoff from Atlanta Watershed and response by Watershed, that there's nothing due for this property. 

And I would agree with you about walking in daylight but I don't think I'd walk in the dark to those hospitals unless it has changed a huge amount in the last couple years or you are say across the street from one.

While the standard Chiacago Association of Realtor's City of Chicago 2023 lease is updated and compliant with new 2023 security deposit rates and local ordinance, we always recommend implimenting an additional "overlay" or addendum that helps protect the landlord against many things that the standard lease cannot standardize that many landlords would like to, like no smoking.

I would not include the smoking background and pet policies in every reply.     

Please keep in mind even a level 4 is the same as smoking 8 cigarettes a day or getting 200 x rays. 

Even with holes/tarp on roof and plywood over windows, the place still smelled like smoke. 

most people want to sit in the dark and look on Zillow and call that 'investing.' it's not.

 ran into a kid at Home Depot this morning with 45 smoke/co detectors in his cart, so I guessed he was a LL.

I'd avoid dark colours because chips will show more easily. 

After all is accepted by the Housing Authority with the booklet, they will schedule an inspection where they come out and check a list of items including looking for peeling paint, windows open/close/lock, smoke detectors /co detectors / fire extinguishers all in the right locations, GFI receptacles in the correct locations, grounded receptacles if 3 prong (ground not needed if 2 prong), and the list goes on.
