Our discourse comes from wanting things to remain the same, when everything around is is impermanent.

Our remaining basis is now $47.5k and our write-off thus far have been $72.5k.

______No stains should remain in the refrigerator or on porcelain in the bath.

The remaining amount will be the actual rent allowance that the landlord will receive.For example 2932 Sussex:Zip code 60428 is range PRent for Range P for a 3-bed voucher is $2040Assume the tenant pays all utilities (here I used natural gas heat, natural gas cooking, electric, electric charge, natural gas charge, water heating, water, sewer, trash, range/microwave, refrigerator), all those for a 3BD equals $308 $2040 - Base Rent Amount for 3BD voucher-$ 308 - Utility Allowance for 3BD voucher (subtracted from base rent)____________________________________________________________$1732 - remaining rent allowance payable to landlordSo just remember, you'll have to subtract a significant amount from your rental income if tenant is responsible for the utilities. 

If the property is in Boston:  "While some states charge up to the entire amount remaining on the lease, most Massachusetts residents just have to pay a penalty of one or two month's worth of rent; 30 days notice is required."

As the project went onwards (and consequently remained delayed), his communication and attitude got even worse.

In your case the 30 day clock has not started so at this point you are not required to do anythingWhen a forwarding address is supplied, provide an itemized list of the deduction and send any funds remaining(if any)If the tenant still owes money for damages a landlord can file a small claims action against the tenant for less than $200. 

Will this remain true, no. 

I thought if you linked your properties you could sell one (or more) without endangering your status if the remaining properties allowed you to meet all of the time and participation requirements on your own?

So, the moving parts of the deal might be pulling in different directions as it comes to the taxes HOWEVER, the buyer might be flexible enough to move numbers from one pat to another realizing for them the total purchase price remains the same. 2) You mentioned it's an office.
