-My old client/boss at an organization I worked at for 5 years wants me to go back to work for him this fall as a Senior Manager/Lead Software Engineer (contract role).

Also, you most likely won't need contractors for most of the repairs and if you do, a few phone calls will probably lead you to someone good.

I know for a fact my grandfather failed along the way, but that didn't stop his former firm from being responsible for 65% of the new housing developments in his city during a housing boom in 1960's or lead him to hang up his hat and call it quits 30 years ago like others his age.

For some it even lengthens the number of years on a base and lead to another renewal on the lease.

If it is a gov water authority but not county/city then I would have to think about it.

If neither of you have done deals, it’s like the blind leading the blind...

I have ask my landlord to replace my carpet since it's been over 10 years since I moved in she has agreed to replace the carpet on several occasions  however stated that  the property owner needs to come and inspect the carpet to make sure that  it is not  above and beyond normal wear and tear it is my understanding that in California the carpet should be replaced after 10 years  it is has bugs in it  there is no padding left  it is filthy grungy and it's already been cleaned twice and no  difference  because I am diabetic if I can have it replace laminate flooring that are being installed and all the  recently vacated units  which are being renovated I asked her on several occasions if I can have laminate floor instead of carpet and she stated that they cannot install laminate flooring in upstairs units due to the noise however I just discovered that the unit adjacent to mine on the upstairs floor  just  was renovated and they installed laminate flooring as this discrimination can I demand  this type of flooring  and ask  her about the new laminate flooring on the second floor policy and why I am unable to  have the same  can I demand that type of flooring or do I have to have carpet  I also feel she is being discriminating against me for no reason  she has been short when I ask for repairs  I asked to move to the downstairs unit and she gave me a whole rant about how she doesn't think that the property owners would allow me to move down there based on my rent being late once or twice  and a bunch of other reasons which I don't think it's her business  to point these things out to me or rather she should just give me the application or instructions on how to go about it and let the property owners make that decision  do I have any basis for discrimination  complaint against her with the fair housing authorities  California

If she complains to the local authorities about it being uninhabitable, ask the inspector to order her immediate removal for health reasons and you wouldn't owe her anything other than pro-rated rent - which she hasn't paid. 

Or should I keep it as a later lead?

“It looked really legit because I do pay Zillow and realtor.com for leads,” McAllister told Inman.
