Moisture is usually the problem with poorly cured brik, that's what an old timer told me.

I know ask to see a copy of their voucher and I call their caseworker to confirm that they are approved first for a rental rate at or in excess of what I'm charging before I sign any transfer papers.

Even my 75 year old mother makes in excess of 2k per month.

You made need an excess policy too.

In rentals, you have a bunch of expenses that don't exist in a home: management (even if you do it yourself), vacancy, legal expenses, utilities (even if only during vacancies), office supplies, entity maintenance, evictions, damage done by tenants in excess of the security deposit, capital expenses (not technically an operating expense, etc, etc, etc.You considered your mortgage payment based on 75% of the purchase price.

Probably just excess info.

For a full fledged bubble to be created their must also be excessive debt used to invest in the inflating assests.

As for the 5 days, the only provision in the code civil is that if the tenant thinks it is excessive, he can take the matter to the regie, execute the work himself and charge you (which in your case would take much longer than 5 days) "Lorsque le locateur n'effectue pas les réparations ou améliorations auxquelles il est tenu, en vertu du bail ou de la loi, le locataire peut s'adresser au tribunal afin d'être autorisé à les exécuter."

Would you feel confident having a home inspector using a moisture meter and looking for signs of leakage?

They have an outlet where they sell excess donated items cheaply.
