Zane,We represent over 50 markets for home Insurance and only one will consider Knob & Tube and then only if it is less than 10% of the building so the Excess/Surplus market policy would be the option on this property.

The California Apartment Association (CAA), the mega-law firm of Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher, and other organizations have nice write-ups about the (un)constitutionality of the provisions of this bill that you can find on the web. 2) renters are hurting due to the crisis and need help.

Ideally, I'd like a wireless system that records and stores to the web.

I can look up the addresses, but I don't want my personal info out on the web.

Did you authorize the repair b.

Tenant's right to compensation, repair or renovation54. (1) A landlord shall compensate a tenant who receives notice of termination of a tenancy under section 50 for the purpose of repairs or renovations in an amount equal to three months rent or shall offer the tenant another rental unit acceptable to the tenant if, (a) the tenant does not give the landlord notice under subsection 53 (2) with respect to the rental unit;(b) the residential complex in which the rental unit is located contains at least five residential units; and(c) the repair or renovation was not ordered to be carried out under the authority of this or any other Act.2006, c. 17, s. 54 (1).Same(2) A landlord shall compensate a tenant who receives notice of termination of a tenancy under section 50 for the purpose of repairs or renovations in an amount equal to the rent for the lesser of three months and the period the unit is under repair or renovation if, (a) the tenant gives the landlord notice under subsection 53 (2) with respect to the rental unit;(b) the residential complex in which the rental unit is located contains at least five residential units; and(c) the repair or renovation was not ordered to be carried out under the authority of this or any other Act.2006, c. 17, s. 54 (2).If a tenant exercises the right of first refusal, it looks like you will be limited in how much of an increase in rent you can ask.Section 54 reads that you need to pay the tenant up to 3-months rent as compensation or offer them an alternate place to reside during the renovations.In NB we have neither of those requirements, we need just serve 3-months notice of termination to have the unit vacant and then commence renovations within 60-days.

Or the local housing authority (the folks that handle subsidized/sec 8 housing).
