I’m a married father of three (all under 5 yrs) with a good job and a spouse who likes the idea of financial freedom but is risk averse when it comes to investing.  

So, with that being said, by 32 I'm looking to create enough cash flow through buy and hold (SFH & Multi) and potentially house hacking to be financially free (not retired). 

I'm not privy to all their financial details so I can't really go into it much more than that.

When I was obtaining my license, we studied a similar widely-publicized New York court case. 

If the PM refused to agree to this, I would tell them they will be terminated and take them to court for the money.

We would like to avoid going to court, but are hoping to see some reconciliation for these actions.- Request that the seller pay for closing fees due to misrepresentation of the monthly income, this being a smoke free property, and the backdating of a lease while not providing it to us for review. - Once we close writing a letter to the listing agent's office and putting in a complaint on this issue in hopes that they will provide us with a payment via insuranceWe have not closed on the property yet, but are due to close later this month.

Thomas can you cite a single instance where this has been a valid tenant defense in court?

@Ernest Grindle would I have to go to the cuircut court to get that info?

@Heather Rodden the late fee coveres things putting tenants in court because they didn’t pay rent, so if she is late this month put her in court for eviction due to unpaid rent.

If they intend to take advantage of you there is no reason you should not be enforcing your lease and benefiting financially.
