The city provided a honor system of paying taxes on these rentable units and out of the thousands of homes that were given notice only one home/owner landlord complied.

The only way to decrease cost is to find a different auto insurer which maybe you are able to do. 

This is an exceptional place I've noticed so far and the people here are fantastic.

I received an envelope with two notice of violations for the same thing, one dated that day and the other the day before each fining me $100.

On more than one occasion, upon returning home, he noticed the alarm clock had been returned to its original location and plugged back in to the outlet.

There is a 1st in place which was previously in preforeclosure but that has issued notice of rescission and I can't find any default notice since then.

We plan to be honest and set clear boundaries.As far as the 'eviction' goes, everyone is on a month to month agreement so we'll give the proper and legal 30 days notice. 

If they are, then you can change the terms (or terminate) with proper notice.

There are many hurdles that you need to get past one by one, the first of which is finding notes but more importantly pull the trigger and buy the damn thing.One recurring problem I've noticed is new investors telling me they can't find deals - but when you show them deals they don't buy anyway because they always think the notes are no good.

Even if it was in violation of the lease for the tenant to change the locks, if I get the keys, no harm/no foul in my view.If I am not getting the keys, that probably means the keys are the least of my worries - legally or condition-wise.Exception: if I weren't already evicting (or the tenant wasn't already vacating), and if the lease wasn't near the end, and if the tenant was troublesome but paid on time, then I *might* use the change of locks as an excuse to terminate the lease (if the lease allowed me to do so) and then serve the tenant with a 30-day notice.
