The Enrolled Agent has the status of being able to represent you in a tax court proceedings, so there's lots of attention to the legal process. 

@Tajinder KandolaMillionaire status is definitely not income related.  

And it shows the "Status Quo as having more value from beginning to end.

Smart money knows where to go when the status quo changes.The only drawback is that some day, maybe not too soon, but some day they will repeal/remove/work around Prop 13 and property taxes will boom to the detriment of all involved. 

I really want to preserve my "super host" status if all possible - but enforcing our house rules is more important to me that my status. 

They will just write off the loss.You can always ask your favorite title company to do a prelim on the property and figure out the status. 

I am looking for Some help in regards to sending out some letters to homes in my area that are in “Pre-Forclosure” or “Bankruptcy” status.  

People in the thread above (especially Travis) did a good job pointing out just how mistaken I was about the "turnkey" status of this house.

You traded rent money for discomfort, and now the renter wants to haggle you for the amount.If it were mine I would have not traded discomfort for money, I want the money, and want to provide a "pleasant" Rental Experience as much as possible.Given that, I would have had a working window A/C installed as soon as possible after learning that the the existing one could not be fixed within a few hours.I would have picked one up from Home Depot that was less than 15 amps and provided a lot of cooling power--just one--but one that worked.As far as the repair, I would have updated the customer (renter) on the repair status as things changed.I would not have cut the rent--even if it was the cheaper way to go.
