Hey @Redgy Saint-Germain , The very first article of the Realtor Code of Ethics states that agents are to a "pledge themselves to protect and promote the interest of their client" (you).

You are locked into the lease and you are required to honor the option.

Are you saying I approach the appropriate town office as if I were a contractor hired to remedy any code violations the property may have?
