That you consider what you have already paid in hotel bills to be a settlement for any inconvenience to them.

After settlement, would I have to deal with non paying tenant?

It's possible you'll get some kind of settlement from the bankruptcy, depending on how it all shakes out.  

If your intention is to assign your contracts - you shouldn't have an issue - I sometimes have  5 or more offers pending - you should be aware and understand -Ways to control properties with out clauses if cash assignee is not found during your contract termHave long settlement date with built in extensions - use banking daysConsideration held until release of contingencies 

On these types of claims the loan holder is covered as an additional insured and is named on all settlement checks as long as they are listed on the policy as the mortgagee. 

What do you think of this idea: have the PR contact the lender and negotiate a full and final settlement of the loan for $100k.

American Title & Settlement

The drain cleaner snakes or jets the line and rarely are they able to see the items flowing past.Also in some cases it's a combination, it could be an old cast iron pipe with a rough inside surface full of rust, which started to act like velcro to things that flows past, or a slight settlement causing a belly, which again impedes the flow, then the tenant pours down grease, pasta and bean, well, you get the idea.Most of the time you end up eating the cost especially if the plumber can't tell you anything.Now, you mentioned that the clog caused water to back up to a vacant unit next door. 

there are many many many tenant advocacy groups that look for cases like this where they can make splashy headlines and earn a bunch of cash in a settlement. tenant pays nothing up front and atty gets 50% of the settlement. how do i know? 

I am willing to speak with Mr Piazza to see if we can renegotiate a settlement, but Mr Reynal is on his own.Ron Blum, PrincipalAtlas
