@Alma Gomez - Chicago alreadys has a lease that is compliant with the RLTO - ask the realtor for a copy

I want to be compliant, but I don't want to pay/do more than is required.

I can make everything completely compliant with the code just like a contractor can.

We were given a heads up that three of the top items the appraiser will be looking for are code compliant smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and that the water heater is double braced.

If you are compliant with you minutes, filings, and no funds are transferred back and forth or commingle, you have a barrier of protection in the eyes of the court.  

When purchasing find out if the complex is FHA compliant.

Best advice I could give STR owners is to be compliant with local and state requirements and stay out of hot water.

But once these 3000 units do what is necessary to become 'compliant', most go right back into the STR market, not helping the 'housing crisis' at all.

Most landlord associations provide and update all the relevant documents and make sure they are legally compliant for your region.  

I was told that apparently, it’s technically not breaking and entering if you have a locksmith open the door for you since the locksmith takes it on good faith that you live there when you ask them to let you back in.From what I have seen she has been generally compliant and has left the premise during the course of several inspections (with some cash incentive from the seller’s agent for her trouble).
