As such, isn't this just a new contract that we can accept or deny? 

They also can bring up any other items without notice or public input:Council Member Pool's STR Resolutions- Possible ban on STRs in residential zoned areas- Increase license fees for STRs- Ways to more easily remove or deny STR licensesCouncil Member Tovo's STR Resolutions- Initiate a phased-in process to limit Type 2 STRs to commercially zoned areas and require Conditional Use Permits for continued operation of Type 2 STRs in single family zoning. - Limit Type 3 STRs in multifamily units in commercially zoned areas at no more than 3% by property and census.- Make Type 2 STRs and non-owner occupied Type 3 STRs subject to federal ADA requirements as commercial places of lodging for the first time (this would essentially ban all of these STRs).- For any STR application or license renewal, require both owner and property manager to certify that they have no outstanding code or APD violations within the last two years.Here are links to more information on what Austin City Council will be discussing and a petition you can sign, urging council to stay with the existing 2012 regulations.I urge anyone in Austin who is concerned about this issue to attend the city council meeting at 10:00am on October 15.

It's the city, it's the contractor, the owner denied us access.

These houses seem to take a little more abuse but tend to also rent years in advance.Also, tailor your lease to include additional rules and regulations pertaining to student housing.

We were well down the road of due diligence when he found out and he tried to stop the sale by denying my broker access to the units.

Such a coincidence that I see this post after denying a tenant for one of my clients' properties due to the fact that I found out the tenants planned on running a day care from his building without authorization. 

No one abuses it at all.

End result - they accepted offer but we could not get a reputable estimate on foundation repair so we backed out.We low balled the first property and were denied immediately.
