In the event that they were unsuccessful at my discretion the seller gave me the authority to extend the closing date up until the end of the final lease agreement or to back out at no penalty.     

My request was on the absolute bottom of current rates but still represents a 37% increase for my tenants, which has gone over exactly as expected.Cut to the chase, what did the housing authority actually say?

Because all new listings are released by HUD, and the local listing agents have them posted on MLS on Saturday, plus, they appear on Hudhomestore as new listings.Being an agent isn't the same as having a HUD NAID authorization so you can bid...

I'm by no means an authority on the topic but I agree with @Jim Keller, if the comps in the area don't have central air then I don't think it would be expected.

@Branden Spann Chris (the author of St Louis Patina) is an incredibly knowledgeable individual and I can't say enough good things about his blog.

I guess the other sign of hope is that the provincial government has another consultation exercise about allowing private bailiffs to enforce court orders such as evictions, or alternatively setting up a designated administrative authority to do this that would be self funded by fees.

You get him or her peeved, and the agent will tattle to some authority, and you'll have to be called in to explain yourself.  

You need to be authorized to encapsulate, in which there is a process...but paint is not an encapsulant.  

Well the author and you have misinterpreted what HUD's new guidelines are.
