Read my posts about lawful peaceable possession of abandoned property vs. unlawful possession of vacant and neglected property to understand why that rarely works out like planned.You remove occupants by an ejectment lawsuit filed in Circuit Court, not an eviction. 

Similar example: you could argue that it's unlawful discrimination to deny a loan over FICO score.

I know from experience that these issues are often an afterthought.I know that most investors are unaware of these nuances, because among the properties that I manage; the owners are stunned to learn of them.The city of Bedford where you live was forced to cancel mandating  point of sale inspections because the court deemed them to be unlawful search and unjust enrichment to collect inspection fees in this situation. 

It makes me sick that we live in a world where this kind of behavior punishes the good guy.

So if all your tenants move out in winter and you can't find replacements, you're screwed.I'm sure most Landlords will adjust and they will generally do fine but this is an attempt to slowly steal away private property rights and treat the Landlord like a criminal, essentially punishing you before you've done anything wrong.I'm currently working with three investors that are selling all their properties in California and moving their investment money to Wyoming.

But based on how things are, they can punish you by not paying rent but you cannot punish them by not maintaining.

Spend some time eduction yourself on  how unlawful detainers work in your local market. 

We must be gluttons for punishment :) Lessons Learned: Don't put all your eggs in one basket and be a lot stricter on the budget and timeline.Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

In other words, I trust a good partner to do they best they can in a punishing environment.

@Loren Neufeld, unless you LEAVE Cali, you won't be able to avoid Cali's punishing state taxes.
