We will not under any circumstance lend to an individual. 

If he were a normal tenant I would just kick him out, but there are special circumstances here.- What is I sell the building to somebody else?  

I just want to know if anyone has actually accomplished a Re-Zoning and although our circumstances are different, I would like to know what their process involved.

Under no circumstances can the Security Deposit be used as payment for rent and/or other charges due during the term of this Lease Agreement.E.

At a lower level, I'm either for or against college education depending on the circumstances of the student.

If the awarded does not redeem in 10 days would it fall off or is this a special circumstance?

(Personally the tenant is an acquaintance of mine so $0 is an option, but in normal circumstances how do you figure it out?)  

Ex-husband would have to sign off on this as well; (3) list the house and try and short sale it if you have enough time; (4) drag your ex back into state court on contempt charges for not abiding by the divorce decree [if he is broke then this won't really get you anywhere - but if he agreed to take the house and make the payment as part of the divorce order and didn't follow through then he is in contempt] the court could award you money to compensate you for the bad credit and any balance due after foreclosure [again, meaningless if he is broke]; (5) very last option - depending on your other circumstances, talk with a bankruptcy lawyer about filing.  

I would not put 1% (or any other amount) upfront deposit, ever, under any circumstances, with anyone (attorney, title/escrow, etc.) to secure a loan form any lender, private or otherwise. 

I think our model will follow IRS requirements, but our plan is to engage a tax professional to see if there is a 'safe harbor' ruling that we can reference in our circumstances.
