They're asking you to change your normal business practices to accommodate them, and jerking you around regarding start date and terms.After reading this whole thread, I'm unclear as to whether or not you should be pulling permits for your scope or not... so let me answer the permit question generically.About 2.5.-3 years ago, we didn't pull a permit for a job we should have pulled a permit for.

Now that the family has grown, it is in their best interest to find a place that will better accommodate them, and unfortunately you don't have another place currently available.

When we have someone move into one of our new constructions before their loan is ready ( to accommodate them not having to live in a hotel) we then have them release EM and sign rental agreement. but even that's a risk because if they holed up it could take 90 days to get them out. as you probably know suing someone is very time consuming and expensive.. would it not be best to just resell.

I'm just starting to own this building and I don't want to get off on the wrong foot with my tenants, but I also don't want to set expectations that they can start complaining and asking for things and I will accommodate them.

We have quite a few companies that can accommodate a duplex.

I have a fairly flexible daytime schedule and accommodate various times and schedules.

If it does not, ask the attorney whether having to change your insurance (and pay more for it) constitutes a reasonable accommodation.

To book 75%, you will have to accommodate referring agencies.  

It is not uncommon to see inspections waived and other concessions included.If you are looking to rent, again, in the core areas of Seattle, rents have been climbing rapidly and a house/apartment/condo large enough to accommodate a family will probably price well above $2,000/month.

Owner gets back and say I never authorized that I won't pay it. then moves to another PM... this is a very common occurance and veteran PM companies then learn to have a reserve in their trust account to accommodate this.Maybe that's what your talking about.
