@Bill B. in addition, the TAR seller disclosure form in Texas also asks specific questions regarding insurance claims and if the proceeds were used by the seller to make the repair.

In addition to having cashflow to add value and push equity, I still have had decent appreciation.

Additionally, there’s always a risk that any pet-related damages could be hidden under furniture or otherwise concealed, potentially leaving us to cover the costs if the security deposit is fully depleted by other expenses (e.g., damages or unpaid rent).

There had been a recent addition of, call it, Landlord LLC.

There should have been change orders alerting you of the additional charges, which would have given you the opportunity to make budget decisions.Check your management contract and check all your conversations with the PMC.

Property manager (PM) 's lawyer continued the case to get the unpaid rent from the tenant.PMA between landlord and property manager(PM) has also expired so landlord got the property back , but when landlord requested to settle the account and the deposit( there is one month deposit from landlord also), PM refuses since the lawsuit is going on with the tenant, Additionally PM is still charging the monthly property management fees from landlord even though landlord is managing the property.Landlord is done dealing with PM and requested the PM to withdraw the lawsuit against the tenant ( landlord is aware that he will loose 2 months rent), PM came back saying they cannot withdraw the lawsuit since that will violate fair housing law.QUESTION:Does withdrawing unpaid rent case against the tenant violate fair housing law ?
