But again, around here, we have to have an approved site plan/permit and an approved building plan/permit before we can actually start construction (although occasionally we do get permission to start excavation ahead of the building permit).Good luck!

Also, I only allowed 1 and they added a 2nd dog without permission.

you could consider a written agreement to have permission to have access to unit until the work is completed, Its not easy to live in a place under construction in any situation but it could work out.

One question I have is, if you can run up to 3 phone numbers through the national do not call list, and if all 3 numbers come back as not being registered (aka, it is permissible to call), why do you need to register your business and pay any associated fees? 

I had a landlord file a claim on me one time over clean up that he gave permission to do - remove a broken-down screened in porch that was collapsed and a tore up rug in the living room.

Until you do, you can't (without permission, etc.) work on someone else's property.

That is usually enough incentive for the roommates to find a workable solution themselves.If you had a clause in your rental agreement about unauthorized occupants and the boyfriend moved in without your permission, then you could have effectively addressed it then as a lease violation.

In order to get it on the MLS I need the sellers permission.

We did, however, wait until we closed before signing lease & taking deposit... just in case financing or something fell through and we couldn't close.If it is vacant, most sellers probably aren't going to mind a bit if you ask permission to advertise and show it.  

Yes it'd be a short sale if the seller sold for less than what the house is worth and I believe they'd need the lender's permission to do so.
