Tenant also agrees to the following:-All drains, waste pipes, and plumbing are accepted as clear by Tenant at the time of occupancy, and any material blocking them after occupancy shall be repaired at Landlord’s cost, unless determined by repair person that such blockage occurred during the time Tenant controlled the Premises and due to some fault or negligence of Tenant, specifically excluding blockages caused by roots or backups from the street.

My email is in my signature block. 

You'll probably only go negative in the months you block off time for your own use. 

Only in the last 3-4 months has he said he's seen some light at the end of the tunnel and they're starting to see minor insurance premium relief on properties, but it's for the best of the best assets (New construction, concrete block, 250+ units, etc).

It's cheap, it's near where we live, it needs to be rehabbed, it's the worst house on the block with a ton of potential.

If they were identical and one wanted a parking block painted and the other didn't care, who is to say the seller has to take the one that wanted the work done at any cost?

You might post it as coming soon... there could be someone who wants to be on the block you're on and will wait.  

One of my employees had their vehicle stolen while parked in front of the building just a few blocks from the BART station. 

So you might want to start with the attorney and see if he has a lease he already knows and likes.One thing for sure, put the prohibition on living in the space in bold type with a nice little initial block next to it for the tenant to initial so the tenant cannot come back and say it was intended to be a live/work space.

So from funding balt city row houses to loudoun county :)Yeah it’s funny even on a personal level I lived in D.C. last year and the crime while I was never a victim there were probably at least a half dozen shootings within a few blocks a my apartment (which was literally across from where the nats play, a good part of town) and literally so many car jackings I lost count, eventually at the end of the year I was like I’m not paying 3k a month to have constant shootings next door, I’ve ended up for a variety of reasons spending at town of time on the eastern shore, and I kind of realized this is walkable & safe & affordable, I kind of think small towns are the future.
