If any members of the family have hearing problems, install one for the hearing impaired.The entire unit, both inside and outside, including window frames, must be free of cracking, scaling, peeling, chipping and loose paint.

He came back with nothing, as he did not see any sign of leak ( no peeling of wall paint).Solution: Tomorrow, I am planning to inspect myself and try to find root cause of the problem.  

As Covid demonstrated, the old-fashioned face-to-face (mask-to-mask) connection is no longer necessary.

If you give them a property with torn up carpet and paint peeling with holes in the doors, it'll get a lot worse. 

Equipment: sheets of plywood for all downstairs openings, tools, empty boxes for their stuff, lock sets for every door, stack of 2X4's, long screws, nails, fake security cameras, no trespassing signs with California Penal Code 602 PC, gloves, masks, trash bags...If they won't leave, call the police (who won't help you but them showing up may make squatters run).  

It is just masked.

@Theresa Harris Thanks, will definitely wear gloves/mask and wrap it up before taking it out.  

I'm done cutting in with my 4" block brush long before a hack has has even taped and masked. 

If the prop is listed as an A- but a quick Google Earth shows tire-less cars in lawns and peeling paint, it’s time to walk away.Of course, market research is crucial, but nothing beats looking people in the eye.

One section of the apartment has some varnish/finish peeling that I noticed around the 2nd year I was living here and over time has gotten worse.
