The foremost authority on Lease Options of all types is @Wendy Patton.

The good thing is, you can easily brand yourself and become the authority in that area. 

You have to have expressed authorization and/or give proper notice to enter a Tenant's property. 

The ultimate authority if you need one is John Hyre   

Always better to apply if you get preapproved offers, not just randomly on their sites.If you don't have any FICO score yet - it helps to start from secured credit card or ask someone to add you as an authorized user to their credit card.

So this lease is between my neighbor and this tenant (which we resigned after his first year and created a new lease for another 12 months) and this lease does have an additional clause that in case of maintenance or any other issue, he can contact me (landlord authorizing me to handle service request on his behalf as a consultant).

Good luck and at a minimum maybe you can get that last payment back since no work was completed and the payment was sent out, unless you authorized the payment.

I have the court date on Tuesday but I was told its a little different that the court we require a particular authority document.

I would also check on the state and local taxes at the local taxing authority.
