At this point, the tenant does not have cause to terminate as long as you are remediating the situation.

@Zach Riegler  All that @Sherwin Gonzales is saying is that you can't give the tenant notice to move during their initial one year lease period, unless you have cause. 

@Nik Moushon I talked to the city and looks like they mentioned that the lots are grandfathered in asSingle FamilyMulti-FamilySingle Family  To rezone the lots would cause issues that with the multifamily retaining its status. 

Not waiting long enough could cause you to leave money on the table. 

The person watching down below will know when you’ve found the area that’s causing the problem.

If the driveway is heaving and causing tripping hazards that is one thing.

It doesn't sound to me like you're a professional property manager anyway - you just look after your own units - and unless you think there's a chance your friend might file a complaint against you, I really don't see the harm if it's one unit.

I feel like if you don't put in like you said mud could just be tracked into the property and cause more wear and tear inside.

Not sure what to do cause i don't want to have to keep waiting and waiting to find a deal.

I wasnt worried about damages cause the place needed paint and carpet refresh anyway.
