Would a lawyer be helpful to get some results from the city?

No clue, my guess would be no since they have accepted the return of the deposit, but check with a real estate lawyer in your state because I'm just guessing here.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @James McGovernGeraci and Doss have standard docs - believe one site is called lighting docsI have a set from my own attorney as I want specific language included in the documents In the same sense that a HUD-1 is used by all lawyers at part of closing, looking for lenders to standardize how they communicate loan terms 

I have no time for this, but if not removed my lawyer will send you a letter with every law you broke.

  $350/hour is close to what I might pay my lawyer . . . 

All this knowledge not only empowers you but also ensures that you can make the most of the opportunities available through Section 8 housing assistance.Best of luck to you!

Most of the 'experts' (Lawyers and CPAs) do not own investment properties anyway, just ask them.

We did the appraisal, we got the lawyer, and everything was set.
