Agree with others you picked a bad fight there no matter whatIn the middle of Covid you are going to have a very hard time enforcing that 2 month fee clause if it is even legal in your state.

now enforcing it can be a chore or it can be quite easy I have done it both ways..however even with that clause its not a slam dunk as I stated to actually get the tenant to pay you..  

Will the county begin to enforce or change the rules, not sure, sure wish I had a Christal ball.    

I spoke with a few code enforcement officials and they all sounded like less areas will be approved. 

Maintenance: No asbestos, building inspectos/enforces come on some regular basis to make sure building is up to code so these issues aren't a danger to the public.

To update you, yes I did file a complaint with several organizations and, yes, I have been able to accomplish something with the help of the Bureau of Real Estate, Mortgage Loan Activities Unit, and the State of California, Department of Business Oversight Enforcement Division.

If the seller was operating illegally and managed to sell the property without the requirements in place, I would accept that as evidence that enforcement isn't likely to happen immediately and you could continue collecting rent while you take steps to comply.

If that is the case, then you need to take every action by working with your local law enforcement to get this scumbag out of your building.

Mexico is about to be taken over and overun by drug cartels and organized gangs which are infiltrating the highest levels of gov't and law enforcement!!

Fortunately for the homeowner I cured the first and sold the property (on sale the first was satisfied)- but I could have just the same cured the first and kept the property with the first lien in the previous owners name until of course the first lien holder chooses to enforce their due on sale clause.Oddly enough, if the first were current and the second takes the property to auction - there is case law/legal precedent that limits the first lien holders ability to enforce their due on sale clause.Either way - you can bid on a second lien at the courthouse steps and take title to the property, evict the previous owner, and proceed from that point.
