There appears to be some stains indicating seepage.We just did this kind of foundation repair on a house with steel beams 6 ft oc with an interior moisture barrier and an interior drainage tile with a sump.  

The area behind the wall would be filled with gravel and it would have drains to allow any moisture that gets behind the wall to escape.  

Instead, you should deduct the repairs from the deposit and bill them for any excess.  

We applied for the certificate of occupancy and got flagged in nearly every single room for the WINDOW SILL/SASH with the following code violation:The interior was found to contain protective covered surfaces in a state of deterioration in excess of more than ten percent of the identified building component with a small surface area. 

Four leaks in a short time seems a bit excessive.

Hi Brandon, I've administered in excess of 125,000 1031 Exchanges during my 31 years in the 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediary industry. 

Set it up so you both get paid out a certain about during the operation and and if you meet certain return threshold, you get a higher percentage of the excess returns.Don't look at it like you want equity in the building.

Ridiculous... 200k is excessive unless it includes the mortgage payoff.I closed on a MFU fmv @ $775k and closing costs sans mortgage payoff was only 79k.

But if the security deposits have been returned to the tenants, or if the new landlord has properly accounted to the tenants for proper deductions taken from the security deposits, the new landlord may legally collect new security deposits.258If the selling landlord has returned a greater amount to a tenant than the amount of the tenant's security deposit, the new landlord may recover this excess amount from the tenant.259Rules Rules Governing Security Deposits).

Excessive politeness and eagerness are typically signs of a bad tenant on the make.
