A few months ago around Christmas time we were doing a bathroom remodel for a new homeowner on a house that was flipped, the master bathroom was a disaster, there isn't enough space to go into all the things wrong, so I'll just tell you about the bathtub - jetted tub they bought from Home Depot, so it was a de-engineered Jacuzzi model, low horsepower pump, less jets than the non Home Depot version, but it looked new and shiney. 1) Tub wasn't sitting on the sub-floor, was suspended by it's rim, even it they had built the tub deck correctly to size based on everything else I sure they wouldn't have poured a mortar base for it to sit in.

Thank you, Linda“The porch or deck of this building should be designed for a live load of up to 100 pounds per square foot and is safe only for its intended use.

Both showed up in the city permitting so no issues there.Frame new bedroom in front portion of houseRepurpose laundry room into master bath suiteRepurpose current master bath into master closet and washer/dryer closetEnlarge openings into kitchen and family roomTotal kitchen gutReplace all windowsRelocate front doorAdd front deck and replace back deckAdd central heat/air as the house had window unitsWhen we first walked the property the front room felt like it sloped.

Same with ceiling fan blades and all the hard to get areas. 

All kinds of issues...electrical outlets ungrounded, plumbing issues, flooring issues, a deck that was built wrong, a new master bath that didn't make any sense with a shower door hung wrong, a shower pan that had been nailed through, roof repairs made with 3/8" plywood, roof leak "fixed" by caulking the shingles.....new vent boot that wasn't nailed or seal, bath fan this venting into the ceiling....an unreal list.  

But I am very a competent handyman (rebuilt my own kitchen; roofing; decks, etc)  and have saved my own family 10s of thousands over the years by doing the work myself.

Owning guns is a pain in the butt in CA, so I'm relatively light on the guns but have various bladed instruments staged about our home (that I own, obviously).The hoarding is the only thing you described that strikes me as unusual.This dude probably wants to do what is expected of him, which is not causing permanent damage to the property and pay his rent on time, in exchange for basically being left alone to quiet enjoyment of the unit.
