(a) Except as provided in this chapter, if there is a material noncompliance by the tenant with the rental agreement, an intentional misrepresentation of a material fact in a rental agreement or application, or a noncompliance with Section 35-9A-301 materially affecting health and safety, the landlord may deliver a written notice to terminate the lease to the tenant specifying the acts and omissions constituting the breach and that the rental agreement will terminate upon a date not less than seven days after receipt of the notice.

@Aaron LindenI am all for DIY, innovation and being economical because this seems to be a prior homeowner that did this or had it done by someone who obviously did not pull a permit since there is no way an electrical building inspector would have let that go.However when doing electrical work during rehab, whether for a flip or a rental, especially things that will be hidden behind a wall or ceiling that is not the time to cut corners - everything should be at the very minimum up to code both for safety and liability.Can you imagine if that Non UL Listed coffee can caused a fire and the insurance fire investigator traced it down as the cause?

I converted several of our rentals to on-demand NG to cope with hot water demands & CO safety issues.

I want my RE portfolio to be passed to my children some day to give them the safety and security to pursue their passions regardless of income potential from their jobs. 

I am aware of the "Due on sale" clause that could potentially blow up in our face, and we don't have any safety net should the lender decide to call the loan, but I've also heard of that being a very rare occurrence as long as the loan is performing, so I'd hate for that to stop us from moving forward with this.

We use the time threshold on dealing with former felons because we feel it balances the interest and safety of others in the community with the limited chance of recidivism for the applicant (HUD has come around to this approach too).

The fact that you put in $10k for rehab is a good safety factor.Lesson for today: don't decrease your percentage expenses just to make the property cash flow.

However, if the state does not have this requirement, then the property must be inspected by a licensed professional engineer who can certify that the addition or structural changes were completed in accordance with the HUD Manufactured Home Construction Safety Standards.

Would you prefer safety?

I'm getting quotes for all the necessary repairs( i.e. roof, aluminum retrofitting) and any safety issues.
