He isn't even accepting rent from me anymore.  

Listed HousesHouses that are listed with an agent generally are in an “exclusive right to sell” listing arrangement.

What would be the ideal product to prepare the floor so that it accepts the paint ?

., foreclosure, DIL, reinstatement, short sale, and modification (the latter two based on what you are willing to accept/offer).  

They have the freedom of choice of who to sell their property to and on what terms are acceptable to them.

My biz partners and I found a house on the MLS and used an agent to make a cash offer, which was accepted and we paid 3% commission.  

I was about to email back offering another 10K when an email came through that the sellers accepted.

Can I have it towed or do I need some sort of lease addendum specifying this is not acceptable?

Here is (was) the deal:I found the worst house in the best neighborhood....3 bd/ 2 full bath/2 car Gar/ Finished basement (which needs to be refinished) We have an accepted bid for 95k, the appraisal came in at 102k and in "Fair Shape".

I don't understand why they wouldn't accept money from me.
