The Tenants agree not to permit any deterioration or destruction to occur while they are occupying the property. 19.ALTERATIONS:Tenant shall make no alterations, decorations, additions, or improvements in or to the premises without Landlords’ prior written consent, and then only by contractors or mechanics, or other approved by Landlord.

If, for instance, you were to only play streaks whereby you made one wager and if you lost you would quit playing and if you won you would keep playing until you lost, you've not altered the odds at all.  

Although ideally you can control costs by paying materials directly, I’m not opposed to a small down payment (20-30%) for a larger job which translates to their materials and a setup usually. 

My wife translated for a couple that was staying in Colorado due to seing a specialist and it would have been a blessing to have a home close to the hospital to rent.

The Estimating book wouldn't translate very well to audio version (there are a lot of tables and numbers), so I don't expect that one to be turned into an audio book.

I get all kinds of ridiculous prices, that honestly some of those quotes have pushed me into DIY and in part, “I am grateful to them for that” because I have since learned a lot, but I do wish that at times, contractors would look past gender and even race before spitting out ridiculous prices.Secondly:Lack of follow-up.Not sure if it is just Denver, or if others are experiencing the same problem.Met with a contractor for come work needed on a property that I am purchasing.Seller will finance some of the repairs.Need contractor to provide a written quote.Bad enough we are having some language issues as he speaks Spanish, I don’t so communication is via google translate (oh boy).He came highly recommended, so I am trying to hang in there, but only for so long.Still waiting on him to send me the written quote.Sent out a reminder this evening asking him to provide by tomorrow or at least let me know if I should move on to find someone else.I really cannot understand what is happening with contractors in the Denver Metro Area.Perhaps they just have way too much business that if your project appears too small, then they will relax on responses?

Translation is: competent but cheap.I think the most common "ideal" attorney is someone who iscompetent in everything RE-relatedavailable 24/7, directly and not via staffprovides inexpensive as-needed servicesprovides free advice in between engagementsdelivers all commitments on time, including last-minute emergency requestsThis is not my personal list - it is an observation of what my clients seem to want.

Thank you,  the lease states that The tenant agrees that the Landlords, their agents, servants, and contractors, shall have the right to enter into and upon the premises, or any part thereof, at all reasonable hours for the purpose of examining the same or making emergency repairs and alterations as may be necessary for the safety and preservation thereof.

If a lease states that no alterations are to be made to the property without written permission, is this grounds for eviction?

I am reviewing a property management agreement and came across this clause RE: Indemnification that seems too broad:INDEMNIFICATION:(a) The Owner shall indemnify, defend and save Agent harmless from all suits and/or other legal proceedings whatsoever and cost incurred therefrom in connection with the management of the Property and from liability for injuries suffered by any employee or other person whomsoever, except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Agent or its employees, (b) The Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against any costs, loss, expense or damage (including attorney's fees) suffered or incurred by the Agent arising out of or related to the enforcement of this Agreement arising out of a default or other breach by the Owner, the management, operation, improvement, alteration and leasing of the Property, including all other activities arising out of or related to Agent's duties under this Agreement or as a result of any act or thing done or permitted by the Agent or its agents or employees; provided, however, that such indemnification shall not apply to any such cost, loss, expense or damage to the extent that the same relates to or as a result of conduct by Agent which constitutes willful and wanton misconduct.It seems like if one of the Property Manager workers (aka Agent) slips and hurts himself while cleaning the floor the "Owner" is then responsible.
