The before and dafter pictures are essential, so hopefully you did this prior to his occupancy.In Florida, we must post a 7 day notice of non compliance with "opportunity to cure".

Continued long term investment in the shipping infrastructure in Charleston all but assures its prominence as the gateway of choice for trade in and out of the southeast.

This amendment, he assured me, would exclude the containers within the contract itself and therefore protect my continued possession of them.Now, with the amendment to the signed contract in hand, the buyer has yet to respond to the amendment and it has been so long now that the closing date (that was such a worry in the first place) on the original contract is past.So, since the amendment has no deadline for acceptance or denial, how long am I supposed to wait?

My understanding is that the year of construction defines the code compliance unless the job requires permit (addition, kitchen, etc).

I would have a very strict pet addendum, and visit the property periodically to check on the tenant's compliance with it.
