I'm going to be looking a few miles out of Century City for these multiplexes, my fiance and I currently work long hours so it does mean more to us than the average couple to stay close to the city for health/lifestyle reasons, but you are right - looking a few miles out is DEFINITELY worthwhile.

There is indication that there may have been water damage below the area he inhabits and I fear the worst for them if you catch my drift...How would an experienced landlord handle this situation and what landlord/tenant issues would come into play based on the health conditions of both the tenant in question and, presumably, the health repercussions of those in other units?
