I think if you use the EIDL money to maintain your properties, pay mortgages and utilities if applicable as required and use incoming rents for your other stuff, that you would stand up to an audit.I'm always replacing a roof or HVAC unit here and there, paying for HVAC repairs, plumbing issues beyond a stoppage etc.I also have a house that really needs new windows as a repair to maintain the property.

And as a result; Tenant shall pay for the cleaning out of any plumbing fixture that may need to be cleared of stoppage and for the expense or damage caused bystopping of waste pipes or overflow from drains, bathtubs, wash basins, sinks, or washing machines.15.

Tenant agrees to take due precaution against freezing water or waste pipes and stoppage of the same in and about the premises.

For example, my lease says (in part): "Tenant shall be charged for repair of drain blockages or stoppages, unless caused by defective plumbing parts or tree roots invading sewer lines."

Ending the eviction stoppage will be a boost for buy and holds.

Due to eviction freezes and court stoppages in our area, a lot of us landlords have become a lot more aware that the rental climate is changing.

Initials: _______Tenant agrees to pay for clearing the sewer drains of the Premises of any and all stoppages, except for those stoppages which the Landlord will agree were caused by defective plumbing, tree roots, acts of nature, or which are declared in writing to have been so caused by the plumber or other person who is called to clear the stoppage.

It just seems like a way to create an opportunity for a work stoppage if the permits aren't immediately approved when they're requested.

Tenant agrees to pay for clearing the drains of any and all stoppages except those, which the plumber who is called to clear the stoppage will attest to in writing, were caused by defective plumbing, tree roots, or a result of weather.Tenant agrees to keep on hand and properly use a plunger when necessary to unclog drains and to prevent water overflow from toilet, sinks and bathtub.

Technically, any work done on a house needs a permit...Last thing you want is job stoppage after the neighbors report you...
