So I'd defer to the lawyer.With the caveat that just because your friend would win in court, does not mean there will not be legal expenses of litigation.

@Ted Klein You may give cedar mills property mgmt a call - my brother rented from them for a couple years and was really happy - I stayed the night at his house as I live 2 hrs out of Wichita now - anyways back in March on a Saturday about 4-5pm there was a broken water pipe from a sprinkler system that my brother discovered - it was a freak accident on how it broke - but would have flooded the basement - we got the water shutoff.Anyways to get to my point they had a plumber over in a couple hours to fix it. 

Does anyone have negotiation strategies they would be willing to share and/or any strategies for winning a deal if a seller has multiple offers?
