But in general with rent control, you want to avoid “gray areas”.

What you are struggling with is what we all are.Your second question is a bit of a gray area.

@Gary Thompson that's solid advice from @Nick Rutkowski. 

I recently had advise from a local experiences landlord / tenant judge that says in most cases it depends on which side of the bed the judge woke up on that morning "A lot of gray areas" Health issues area utilized as a hardship plea which it should.

@Spencer Gray - I don't disagree with your stance at all. 

@Joshua Thompson yes, the goal is to fix it up and live in it for 12 months.  

@Reese Thompson Thank you!

It's a gray area yes, but it is possible.
