Since the market is heating up, you'll likely find a cash or conventional offer quicker than working through the appeal process.

People on this site discount the need to know how to renovate, but even if you're paying someone else you still have to have enough basic knowledge to know what needs to be done and how much it is likely to cost.

So you're going to have to sort this out either now or later in the heat of a battle.You're stuck.

I'm sure there's a law that can be easily referenced in the CA Civil code or some other legislation that tells me why I can't do that... but basically the question is this:If I buy a property, distressed or otherwise, and it has a tenant in it that can provide a valid lease at market rate, I am under the impression that I have to honor that lease regardless of its terms or duration.

Basically i can't get anywhere because I already own 2 properties and my credit report shows it.

Our units here are outside house and ducts/furnace in basements or first floor utility rooms if on crawl space.Crawling attics in heat is no fun!!

It's incredible and is really just basic networking and electrical components with WiFi connectivity.

The landlord can put that in the lease but it doesn't mean it will hold up in court.A judge will likely throw that part of the provision out and make the landlord go through the normal eviction process.We have a clause where the rent is late on the 5th and then an eviction fee of 150 is added on plus 10 dollars a day for each day they are late.The judge gives us the 150 and back rent as a judgement but sees the 10 dollars a day as excessive in most cases and will not give to us.We have it in there to make the tenant feel the heat and want to pay the rent instead of letting 10 dollars a day accrue.I am sure it is the same way with this other landlord.Most of their tenants are probably not fully educated on eviction law.So they assume they must leave by the 15th because they signed the paper.

She basically said not really - we'd have to take them to court and that opens up a whole new can of worms that I'm not comfortable with.My current plan is to simply not renew their leases, and communicate to the clean tenant as such - and then hope he's willing to wait it out.I'm also thinking about sending the exterminator back in another time, at a cost of $450 for all 9 units.

Basically, I am attacking all recurring expenses possible without totally turning off tenants.
