Meetups are announced and posted here on BP in the meetups sub-forum, and on our dedicated Facebook meetup page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/MetroDetroitRealEs...I also send out an email notification once the date and place is set since people don't always see the meetup announcement on FB and BP.

Neither of those puts you in a good position,  so maybe you draft a fresh check for that same amount; you might choose to back date it as well.

I found this guide http://www.ada.gov/restripe.pdfBut not sure if it's up to date, i want to ensure my parking lot is ADA compliant, is there a more up to date guide for California?

However, if the housing court record is pulled by name, date of birth, and/or social security number, then I would have more faith in it and ask the tenant to get that letter.
