Their lease agreement expires in 11 months.what is the best approach to motivate the tenants to address these two issues and be as civil as possible about the situation?

Yes he is...this is very clear on the California Civil Code.

Its an analysis derived by the mortgage industry to sell you a mortgage.The asset itself is a liability because it does not cash flow and can be lost in court either by civil lawsuit or bankruptcy.

Talk to a local civil engineer . they know the ins and outs .  

I'm trying to remain civil in hopes of keeping any property damage to a minimum. 

I'd never give up to the title of a property even to my best friend and, even more so in a foreign country.When you invest in a country like Costa Rica, you need to have a very strong legal position for the get go and you want to avoid being litigated against as much as possible.

You will also need to do this for any other engineering professionals that were part of the design team (structural engineer, civil engineer, geotech etc.) unless you can take over their contract from the old architect.

Liens that persist would include government liens, like IRS or anything from the city, county, or state.My county treasurer's website warns that although liens are wiped out, lienholders may still sue to get some of that money from the person who purchased the deed at tax auction.My question is to anybody who has purchased property at a tax deed sale -- have you had a lienholder pursue litigation after you've purchased the deed?

Here is what I found: According to state laws (Civil Code § 1941.1 and § 1941.3), at minimum every rental must have:-effective waterproofing and weather protection of roof and exterior walls, including unbroken windows and doors-functioning plumbing, heating, and electrical facilities, including hot and cold running water and a working toilet and kitchen sink-clean and sanitary building and grounds (that is, free of debris, filth, rubbish, garbage, rodents, and vermin), with adequate trash receptacles-well-maintained floors, stairways, and railings-deadbolt locks on certain doors and windows-no lead paint hazards, and-no nuisances, a catchall provision referring to something that is dangerous to human life, detrimental to health, or morally offensive and obnoxious, such as allowing drug dealing on the premises.If I were you I would take LOTS of pictures and document everything.
