Lawsuits take a loooonnnggg time and we have made great strides but still have ways to go to resolution. 

If the tenants claims are untrue or they can't prove that their statements are accurate, then you should also create a paper-trail disputing their claims and asking for them to document and photograph the issues they have encountered. 

He and I have had many disagreements but that’s normal and we talk through them until we come to a resolution.

Is there some type of community or organization that will give you comfort that you will easily be able to find the help you need, find tenants and/or resolve disputes if they come up. 

Unless Airbnb has arrangements to collect on your behalf with your state and locality, you'll need to either add these charges onto your booking via the Resolution Center or calculate them into your listing price.

Your lender can make that escrow contract completely one sided and have you waive any right to the monies and waive any right to dispute the monies are yours.Another, thought, is if you are showing a loan, which you are and you put on the contract cash then your loan letter would need to state unconditional commitment.

Plus the extra work to send them the resolution for the pet fee quickly gets old.

Quick Update:The project is currently stalled due to a dispute with the other adjacent property owners. 

In the '90s the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC), set up and funded by the US Gov't (ie; the taxpayers) bailed out the bankers who had made the bad loans, the developers who had taken on too risky of ventures and the PMI companies who had backed those risky loans.By mitigating the losses for those parties they saved some people from being civilly sued, prevented some criminal prosescutions and made sure that many of their "friends" got preferential treatment when it came time to buying the real "wholesale" deals.We had looked at a condo development in Houston on the theory that we could get the entire place for about $3K PER UNIT.

I'm good here, wasn't me, thanks for asking Greg :)    I don't get confrontational with tenants.... the news reported the landlord today was supposedly there about a rent dispute.
