This is extortion, this is theft as far as I am concerned. 

Is that normal in commercial real estate to sell undeveloped land by the ft?

I was using Credit Bureau Associates who have recently moved/consolidated with TenantAlert.Have the option of running, criminal background and identity fraud checks.Have the option of  paying for it myself or applicant to pay.I get the credit score, account types open, closed, payment history, status of accounts, balances, etc. 

I have seen everything from medical bills, loss of a spouse, divorce, loss of jobs to identity theft cause someone to have to file.

Update:A friend of mine is consulting on a nearly identical project currently. 

The rental income might not seem like much, but if the eviction is not handled correctly, there could be a bigger price to pay if removing the items from the garage is seen as theft by the police.

My property is one of 15 identical duplexs on the same street.

So I am in an almost Identical situation except I do have an agent that is sort of a mediator between the seller and I.

The only reason I bothered was because I knew it was a high appreciation market, and I knew it would be short term. edit - I actually realized this post seemed familiar, I already answered your other identical thread. apologies

My parents use a property manager and the forms they use are very similar (some of them identical) to the forms I've found on these sites.I realize this is for BC but it might give you an idea for the type of forms you should be looking for: http://smartlandlordbc.ca/rental_forms.htmGood luck!
