Now both of those lines have been combined into one (philly has combined wastewater system so this is normal).Well I decided to poke around behind the finished basement walls with a handy handheld inspection camera.

To my thinking, if you're in the right neighborhood and can Airbnb or short-term rent that unit for 2x normal rent, that could make sense.

I asked to terminate the contract and although they apologize for the very poor communication, they are sticking to the term of the contract that states they get a half months rent for termination within a year... is this normal?

I gave a partial refund to the day shift people, then headed over to the big house where 8 night shift guys were probably waking up. 

Any "as-is" reference would normally relate to the physical condition of the property itself - NOT to any taxes, liens or mortgage(s) against the property.

Like does he needs to charge me more than a normal service...? 

@Wakes Andre you are leaving a lot of stuff out.

You’re finding out how it normally works and why the “low money down” doesn’t really work well.You’ll need that money to your contractor up front.

Nice to wake up to so much support!

The workforce these days is incredibly mobile and by not having to sell one's  house here, move somewhere else to live in temp housing at the new location while trying to find a new normal in a new place is daunting.
