I reviewed the lease and there is a section saying "Landlord will try to give tenant 12 hour notice for any showings" which I believe violates the law requiring 24 hour notice to show property? 

This threat by them is probably a violation of licence law.I have some other ideas for you.

Thanks for asking.I would not feel that you are violating the spirit of the rules by saying No, if it is a tv show with ads, vs an infomercial.

@Dion DePaoli  I think Dion has some specific reasons why he does not buy these or recommend them. maybe we can get him to chime in.. the only reason i was able to buy the one I got is because we door knocked it.. just happened to be a contract for deed situation.and when I was talking to the Bene of the contract of deed  ( local PDX RE attorney ) he informed me in Oregon you can do a strict foreclosure that is not handled like a judicial or DT foreclosure.. however in this instance he had started a judicial because there were many code violation liens and other liens against the current owner that needed to get wiped off.. 

He knew he was in violation and needed to leave (3 day notice was served.)  

It is common to see operating agreements that are written by attorneys in a manner that violates the substantive economic effect tests.

You don't want to create any conflict of interest of violate any of your duties a licensed agent. 

Apparently, a new state law will target Airbnb advertisers with fines of up to $7,500 if they violate a 2010 law that bars rentals under 30 days in multiunit New York City buildings when the owner or tenant isn’t home.Curious to hear other BPer's opinions on this, especially those in the NYC Airbnb business.http://www.wsj.com/articles/new-airbnb-law-causes-...

However, the property had a TON of violations! 

I want to hit Tax Liens and Code Violations but I'm having a hard time finding out where to get that information.
