I had one apartment that was so bad I had to replace the HVAC ductwork, the HVAC, the carpet, the ceiling tiles and repaint all the surfaces, plus put in an ozone machine for several days!

I recently retracted from contract with a property that was found to have major drainage issues that the POS inspector found, which was causing backyard flooding and basement leakage.This will be my first property there, I'm eager to get a home closed!

I really liked the reply by @William Allen - and on the surface it now looks like you didn't properly account for everything he suggested.

Any sign placed on any curb, sidewalk, post pole, hydrant, bridge, tree, or other surface located on, over, or across any public street, right-of-way, property or thoroughfare, unless authorized by the City Council.

Unfortunately, these fees did not surface until a sales agreement had been agreed upon.I'm not sure but other areas, but it seems that HOA's in the State of Florida have a great amount of power over owners.

The release period is up to different conditions of temperature, humidity and the quality of the surface.

As a person from an Ag background the farmers are not eating out because there is more wheat it's because the oil people are buying or leasing their mineral rights and then paying them for surface impacts due to drilling.

If you hang onto the property , you are losing money every year...this couldn't even be considered treading water, since when you tread water, you are still on the surface.  

The asbestos with tiles is probably underneath and not on the surface.

If you want to warm up a living room the tenants can get a great area rug designer on sale for cheap like 99 dollars and throw it down.Make sure with the tiles they are not the slippery kind with no grit to them.Those kinds can get wet and make people slip and fall.Much better to spend about 6 cents more a sq ft and get the cheap kind but they have the grip coating and not the ultra smooth slippery surface.
