Tenants can fill out LTB forms with invisible ink if they choose but if a landlord makes even the tiniest error the application will be denied.Remember when you go to the hearing be organised, bring all the evidence such as lease, apt. add, termination notice etc, and memorise the facts. 

After you've seen some of the worst REOs (think: cement poured in all the drains, all the freakin copper ripped on, no evidence of any HVAC equipment, etc.) the worn-out houses you see from mom & pop sellers will look like GOLD.

My current employer purchases narrow body aircraft and leases them to airlines throughout the world so many of the economic principles (prudent asset/liability management, active asset management and conservative cash flow management) and analytical metrics (margin/spread analysis, IRR, ROA, etc) translate well to the real estate industry.I’ve been reading books/blogs and listening to podcasts and 2 things have become evident to me: 1 – the more I learn the more I see how little I know and,2 – there is a myriad of ways to find, finance and exit a property.

 @Jamiel Strickland, I'm doing 2 rehabs in Detroit right now and to be honest it's incredible what some guys will do if no one is watching, basically leave time bombs, I'm watching the rehabs like a hawk and I've had to stop work a few times because they were doing stuff that if I'm not watching them they close the walls, paint and you would never know the mess they created, incredible; I had an out of state investor recommend me his guy, was saying he did great work, I passed by one of his rehabs, omg, the shoddy work was so evident, of course once he closes the walls no one will notice.

In inspections of rented apartments, we look for leaks under the sinks, general upkeep, evidence of unauthorized pets, tenants, smoking and obvious illegal activities. 

I think video evidence will help your case if it ends up in court, but it saddens me that we have to go to such lengths because of all these progressive laws being rushed through legislation in order to pander for votes. 

You need evidence of abandonment or at least serve notice that your planning to enter the property.
