What exactly does the author mean?

Burglary, criminal damaging to tenant owned property...it's the tenant who is to deal with the authorities. 

The answers above are solid answers, given the authors' propensity to take risk.

The bankruptcy court then has absolute authority to determine whether or not you can foreclose, as well as everything else related to your note.

And... if you want a better chance at success, make sure you're speaking to someone with the authority to negotiate. 

Yes, while it has required a little extra patience working with section 8 tenants and even the housing authority for that matter I would do it again.

The Owner authorizes the Agent to direct the Tenant, from the Tenant’spayment of first month’s rent under the Lease, to pay the Fee directly to the Agent, in Agent’s name.

IF the ITIN and the work VISA associated with the authorization of that ITIN are matching with her current work status (employer information matches all documents) then they're in good standing here.

Even after getting the $1600 back I'd still report to the authorities if he is doing illegal things, that isn't how breaking the law works you give it back and all is forgiven, and the fact that he gave it to you could be an indication that he is concerned about lawsuits.

I was told by investors from my local REIA to get the seller who’s facing pre foreclosure to sign an authorization to release information form.
