My mother in law is 72 and has health problems and lives in a basement apartment.

After the "Contract to Purchase" agreement, I discover that the property has some Board of Health issues.

@Colleen F - I agree with you on the spending issue but as you say it's another topic.Septic in our town is a nightmare as there is a long and painful approval process (with engineering required) by the Health Dept for all repairs / replacements.

Hi BP community, I have recently graduated from college with a degree in the health sciences.

There were varying opinions of the current manager, but he seems eager to keep his position, despite health concerns.

(A) A landlord who is a party to a rental agreement shall do all of the following:(1) Comply with the requirements of all applicable building, housing, health, and safety codes that materially affect health and safety;(2) Make all repairs and do whatever is reasonably necessary to put and keep the premises in a fit and habitable condition;(3) Keep all common areas of the premises in a safe and sanitary condition;(4) Maintain in good and safe working order and condition all electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning fixtures and appliances, and elevators, supplied or required to be supplied by the landlord;(5) When the landlord is a party to any rental agreements that cover four or more dwelling units in the same structure, provide and maintain appropriate receptacles for the removal of ashes, garbage, rubbish, and other waste incidental to the occupancy of a dwelling unit, and arrange for their removal;(6) Supply running water, reasonable amounts of hot water, and reasonable heat at all times, except where the building that includes the dwelling unit is not required by law to be equipped for that purpose, or the dwelling unit is so constructed that heat or hot water is generated by an installation within the exclusive control of the tenant and supplied by a direct public utility connection;(7) Not abuse the right of access conferred by division (B) of section 5321.05 of the Revised Code;(8) Except in the case of emergency or if it is impracticable to do so, give the tenant reasonable notice of the landlord's intent to enter and enter only at reasonable times.

Does not evict anybody due to health/disability complications. 

My C Corp collect the rents, pays for all the repairs, bill, taxes, takes a management fee and pays the rest to the LLC.My C corp is used to write off most of the expenses and also to give me fringe benefits like health care and to contribute to retirement plans.

I am a mental health and substance use therapist and love my work. 

The opposite is also true and some tenants will literally never complain even if health and safety maintenance issues are occurring.
