When we began chipping off the old 4x4 tile on the bathroom walls we found a slab behind each wall about an inch thick of concrete to which the tiles are adhered to directly.Is there an easy way to remove the tiles or should be just demo the entire slab, tile and all and just replace with 1/4" concrete board on the remodel?

My rule for rentals is...Clean concrete subfloor....stained concrete.Dirty concrete subfloor....tile.Wood subfloor....laminate.Wood bathroom or kitchen subfloor... ceramic tile or linoleum.  

(the laundry is on concrete whereas the bathroom is on wood frame)

I looked at some of this type of housing in Hattisburg MS  a while back I thought this was a cool plan these were new.house was a basic rectangle.. came in the front door kitchen to the right galley style  then you had a great roomoff of the great room there were 4 doors 2 on each side leading straight into bedrooms that also had private baths and closets.. so each student had their own space.. central area for TV and social and one kitchen and table to eat on.Very basic design easy to build.. and these had scored concrete floors so little more to build but no replacing carpet when beer bongs spill over.. :)  no carpet at all in the house.Just have to put a few more toilets and showers in.. 

But angry tenants have been known to put concrete down the toilet before they move out.

Besides being potentially inhumane, someone has to either remove and "store" them daily or feed/water and remove feces/urine daily.Anchoring: some investors are using hardened steel bands and mounting them to the concrete basement floors. 

Shown at the right is a model designed for placement on a foundation with the garage constructed after the installation of the three-section home.are transported on steel chassis which are never removedare transported on their own wheels (which are most times removed in our area)are set up on a series of steel pier and jack assemblies or concrete blocks with wood, plastic or poured in place concrete footing.Today's California Housing and Community Development Departments (HCD), now requires that an "ENGINEERED TIE DOWN SYSTEMS" (ETS) be installed on any new or reset MOBILE or MANUFACTURED HOME.Finally a MANUFACTURED HOME will have metal HUD TAGS aka INSIGNIA'S, DECALS, LABELS posted on the rear left of each section.

My property management company called and said the sewer underneath the concrete floor in a living room was busted.

I thought about removing the concrete boarders and the mulch and laying down some sod to make maintenance easier. 

I have been searching for formal literature about living off syndications but haven't found anything concrete.
