The problem this time is that the contractor didn't try to figure out the root cause at the time of their first visit.Lesson learned.

The attorney found judgments against him, and I think he's trying to prevent his wife from finding out.

@Byron BroughtenYou can move out anytime you want - nothing prevents life changes.You can cash out 75% of the new higher appraised value on single family 6 months after the closing date. 70% for 2-4 unit. 

I told them it's their responsibility to make sure all the issues are addressed with the electrician before he leaves to prevent consistent visits over the same problems and to follow up with him if he didn't make the visit.They proceeded to get mad at me and my electrician, saying that it's not professional for the repairmen to forget what he needs to fix, that I'm blaming them, etc.

This preventative maintenance extends the life of your system and also ensures your resident moves in to a functioning property on day 1. 

Roots are common in a sewer line, but also a sign of potential problems.   

What can you do to prevent the owner from create another deed of trust just few days before you sign the contract?

I understand that there are other root causes that need to be addressed, such as finding your "why", and finding the motivation so you really do want to get out of bed, but as people are figuring all that out I created a tool to help get that actual routine down.I call it "The Success Alarm", and it is an alarm on your iPhone that once it goes off, you cannot turn it off until the tracking mechanisms in your phone registers that you have walked 50 feet. 

Has anyone else had a situation like this where a holdover prevented a new tenant from moving in?
