I will need to see the exact search and get all the relevant information, but if there is any chance that the parents died, you can simply acknowledge this possibility to the Department of Revenue, offer to pay the potential overdue taxes, and get a certificate.

I should also mention that LL never completed a formal walkthrough after any roommate moved in or out so she said there's no way to determine when the damages occurred (Even though she acknowledged that these damages happened before our lease started). 

@Aaron NelsonYou've asked a question which has almost religious responses here on BP ;-)As you acknowledged, local electricity and water rates will impact how well your coin-op laundry does.  

I actually received an email this morning from HUD acknowledging that it was in their inventory and "No timeline for sale is known. 

Americans simply don't want to acknowledge the workings and vast impact of structural racism, let alone individual racist attitudes and behavior.

This new PM focuses on PM instead of real estate sales and acknowledged early on that at the rent amount it was being listed was at the low end and shouldn't be a problem renting; they were absolutely correct.

acknowledge that party named on lease has changed to person X while leaving all other aspects of the lease unchanged (especially remaining duration).Curious: the lease my property manager uses has "my" name on it.

I offer my condolences and acknowledge that this may not be the best time.

I am talking about a computerized printout report of the actual day every payment was made.If you are picky about the tenants credit and financial history, you should require this as well.You should also require the seller to have the tenant(s) sign 2 forms:1) Form giving you permission to access the tenant's credit history any time in the future.2) Notice of a new property owner and where the lease payments must be sent in the future.3) Tenant acknowledgement of a new person/company having total access to the tenant's credit, financial, and personal history.I feel all of this is just the beginning of the requirements prior to closing.

Oh yea, they called me up SCREAMING that I was trying to rip them off, after I explained everything in GREAT detail, even went over the cya acknowledgments TWICE and they still said I never told them everything.
