The house needs to be in the condition it was when you did the initial viewing (or better). 

.- What is the current condition of the property? 

Parking, noise, use of utilities, density, beauty/style, are only a few of the considerations when a conditional use permit or zoning variance is granted.  

My hope is that you are perhaps an overwhelmed landlord who might be looking to offload a headache.Someone who is getting close to being in a bad financial situation because of Covid or the rising cost of living.Someone who has lost all the equity in their home/is worried that it is in such poor condition that you won't be able to get any value out of it.If so, I’ve been doing a lot of research and I think we can help each other out.My goal is that by searching off-market, I will be able to find something within my price range and because the market is so high, you might be able to get more value for your home than you would normally.If this sounds like something that you would be interested in, I would love to hear from you!

You need to check your state laws, but it sounds like you've done the right thing so far by giving notice, attempting to communicate, documenting the condition left, etc.The tenant is unlikely to sue you for anything.

There were tenants in place that the seller was prioritizing, which was why my lower offer came out on top since I indicated that I was interested in keeping any tenants conditional on rent roll.

I don't know your market, but I find that people will find ways to live within their means (e.g. move in with friends and family, etc.) than accept the market conditions since they can't afford it.Good luck.

It had a HUGE lot, the building was in excellent condition!

What condition was it in?

If the condition of the property warrants it, raise the rent to market rates once the existing leases are up.
