Since she is exhibiting what I would call "attacking" behavior ... this could wind up costing you lots of money if you allow this to continue.    

I am truly amazed at the generosity and kindness that so many of you have exhibited with your thoughtful replies.

Joe and Julie understand and accept these terms, knowing that Tom would have lost the opportunity to rent to a family dependent on the school year, and/or because weather could impede his ability to find ideal tenants, if they choose not to enter into a lease on the property.The lease to be signed on October 1, 2016, is attached to this document as Exhibit A.Everybody signs, and they initial that they received a copy of the lease.For what it's worth, that's how I'd do it. :-)

Only a licensed Real Estate Professional may show or exhibit the property, discuss terms and conditions of a possible sale or lease, discuss other features of the property, including its location, neighborhood, community or schools, or engage in any other conduct considered solicitation purposes in regards to the property.

If I were in the situation I would hopefully have used a Deposit to Hold agreement and I would keep the deposit, cut ties with the already not-understanding tenant, and search for someone who exhibits the qualities I value in a tenant (namely their Mindset).You have either a crystal clear case to do that, or a fairly clear case (depending on whether or not you used a deposit to hold agreement). 

This stuff might come back to get you as an exhibit in a trial if your tenant wants to sue you for renting an unliveable unit. 

I would judge based on the number of questions / uncertainties you seem to exhibit about the situation - that you are unclear about the Landlord Tenant Laws where this property is located. 

The market exhibits appreciation in property values, creating equity and potential profits upon resale.

Everyone knows about the hackers who will just send fake wiring instructions, but here it looks like the newest fraud model is actually just outright creating a fake title agency and targeting wholesalers , who frequently have no idea what they are doing (exhibit A here) and far less likely to see red flags like a fake title agent from a bogus company apparently offering to help find a buyer.

How willing would you be to lend money to a complete stranger that exhibits signs of being over-leveraged but says "I'm good for the money, trust me"?
