Paul Krause the un-permitted improvement won't matter also. i've seen some garage-room conversation on some odd jobs for a city client/code enforcement, takes only a day or two to remove it.

But they also are strict in that they are better than other cities at enforcement.

What if they don't do it, you'd have to sue to enforce the contract, and in the mean time you get the misdemeanor.I wonder if you can "donate" it to the Lucas county land bank instead of paying for a demolition. 

And all of this could have just been avoided by a small dose of risk management (enforcing they remove the trampoline).

Few will know the specific requirements (what will actually be enforced by the courts if it is ever violated).

I drink beer with the city code enforcement officer. 

Periodic inspections):(c) In no event may a local government do any of the following: (i) adopt or enforce any ordinance that would require any owner or manager of rental property to obtain any permit or permission under Article 11 or Article 12 of this Chapter from the local government to lease or rent residential real property or to register rental property with the local government, except for [gross code violations]Why are they bringing this bill to the floor now?

Forgetting the legal implications for a moment, it is also just plain STUPID to have a side agreement because you have no way to enforce it and the tenant knows that.

@Richard Davis Emailing an offer is not accepted to most sellers and will not be enforceable.

Seemingly minor procedural mistakes get the case thrown out and you have to begin again.In the short term, send him a letter and let him know there is a "new sheriff in town" and you will be enforcing the lease that is in place - including late fees, etc. - without exception.
