I would only show leniency if they can prove their new living arrangements after next month. 

They take any calls from tenants and arrange to have repairs done (over a certain amount, you have to approve). 

Banks also earn a community reinvestment credit for arranging packages.A $107 million Fannie Mae credit facility arranged by PGIM Real Estate last fall for a national affordable housing operator exemplifies the trend.

being forced to hire and attorney is going to be quite costly for the landlord for sure. unless there is some starter attornies that will do it for a flat fee type arrangement. 

I make arrangements with the agent to go view the home and to my surprise we like it and ask how much the seller wanted. 

I’m sure agents in these markets arrange some way to avoid losing money on each transaction though, like this $800 fee.

Maybe if she knew she staying is not an option, it would light a fire under her to find other arrangements.

But another thing I noticed about one of the 5 star Airbnbs where we stayed was that they had a knock down gorgeous fresh flower arrangement that it took me two days to even notice!

Although you could do what is called a Tenant-In-Common (TIC) arrangement where an investor has 1031 exchange funds and wants to parlay that money into a syndication.

I don't necessarily think that X is a bad guy and is trying to run off with the 25K, but I think he doesn't have the funds to pay the plumber or the concrete and doesn't want me to find out how much his arranged quote with plumber or concrete company is.
