I'm not sure if you understood my point.

I have never understood what landlords refer to as a "good tenant discount".

As far as I understood, she bought the rights of sales and purchase agreement from the listing agent.Looked up the history in zillow: two months on the market then one month off, now the wholesaler got the property (but the seller is still working with his agent.)Yesterday the property poped up on the market and turned into pending.

I had some applicants who confirmed they read, understood, and met my criteria, yet when they applied they clearly did not.

The Lien is against the property regardless of the transfer, but not against the new owner personally.Thank you and understood but doesn't quite answer my question.

Understood.

I explained that we are not responsible until we close and he understood. 

It was understood that we could get out of it at home inspection if I didn’t like what was found.

Hopefully you understood the laws when you purchased, and depicted the rent control in your underwriting.  

I may not have worded it well or understood the initial statement. from my understanding he was saying someone was filling out an application in their name, so an illegal immigrant could live there, but not actually the person filling out the application.
