I need to replace a toilet.

7) Replaced every toilet due to damages/wear and tear and had multiple roof leaks from upper unit to lower unit. 

It looked empty from the out side, so we try to get a better look inside, and that's when we noticed there is people living in the house, by what looks like they are probably squatting!

Would you sit on the toilet seat?

You'll learn about late rent, evictions, bed bugs, roaches, Sect 8 vouchers, clogged toilets, etc. 

You can then get something basic into the garage (simple toilet, sink, shower) to make living bearable for you, get the rental stabilized, then work on converting the garage fully for a secondary unit.

Sunday evening we received a text from our neighbors saying their downstairs toilet overflowed and flooded the downstairs.
