@Jack Tou I've never come across a good lawyer finder website.

I believe fair housing does not apply in this situation.But I could be wrong consult a lawyer.

Hi @Patrick O'Neill: I haven't looked in the Mortgage Licensing Act ("MLA") in a while and it's a complicated enough law that you and your friend should talk to a lawyer about it.

Or is  consulting a tax lawyer / realty lawyer still necessary?

I understand that any loss of rent can be charged to the tenant, but I couldn't find sufficient info on the other costs.Also, If I were to contact a lawyer to get legal advice on this; what kind of lawyer would it be - real estate? 

We have a meeting with a CPA and lawyer next week.

disclaimer I'm not a lawyer, don't take my advice.If your tenants are happy to sign the new lease, of course you can sign a new lease. 

You need to have a lawyer review your contracts to make sure they are legal to use in your state.
