Your first trip should be to the Planning Dept and ask if it's possible based on the zoning, and if they would view it favorably.

Most of the time the categorization is simple enough and I can do myself. 

If your place is uninhabitable, tenants can end the lease or withhold rent until it’s livable, but I like to keep things friendly by offering a temporary rent reduction or helping them find a short-term solution.

When rental prices go up quickly like they did in many areas the last few years, that doesn't mean that a tenant's income increases at the same rate in lock-step with inflation.

I'd love to join if you put something together or come across a small group.

Pass-through utilities are those that get billed to the landlord, and we pass the charge on to the tenant.UTILITIES.

In the meantime, tell her you are done talking to her about the heat.

To make it more complicated, I have ACV insurance, so that makes it harder.

I believe the safety is solid for my wife and me; in fact, we are about to start having children here.
