But likewise never not do something you know to be right just because it may be questioned.Something like you describe can be a very fortunate accident when it happens once. 

I'm assuming your lease has this spelled out but it seems common to list out how much notice is given (12 hours, 24 hours, etc.) as well as the situations where no notice is given (such as where property damage is imminent, like what you've described).

However, the house you describe sounds like its in "my neighborhood" as the home values and rents are similar.

Since I bought it with cash on an absolute net basis, all of my income will be taxable (less the depreciation).My question is, is there a way I can write off a greater amount of depreciation due to the conditions I described above? 

My question is this: based on what I described, what would be a fair percentage to ask for?

@Saad KhanWhat you have described is 100% mortgage fraud.

Describe parking and other shared-space policies clearly to prevent confusion or fights.

If you are a home inspector or general contractor with 3 years experience and can write a document describing how you would inspect a home and do a cost estimate, HUD will allow you to become a 203k Consultant ... with no education, no training, no testing ...

As a former contractor myself, I've often thought a lot about something like you've just described.

You can describe the property but that's all.
