I imagine they can get in trouble with whatever agency handles tenant/landlord law in Michigan if they don't transfer the security deposits to you in a timely manner.

A deal can fall through with approved funding so you can imagine if you do not have this done already.  

They never poured a walkway from the driveway to the front step and only 1/2 of the driveway was paved. 

(or at least I'm certainly having trouble imagining a scenario where it could be) The bigger and busier a city gets, the more it needs good transit. 

I think I'll go pour myself a glass of Sandman, Founders Reserve 

I can't imagine it being anywhere near $300, unless the entire foundation had to be rebuilt. 

I imagine the higher level apartments have better profits.  

And to think that you could "go after" the previous owner is just sillyness - I can't imagine any real estate sale contract that would even try to predict or insure anything about what future taxes would be.

How do you possibly imagine that could be?  

TIANot familiar with that one but I simply cutout the poured basement wall & bought a pre-fab plastic unit from Lowes that I installed myself including the large 'code' sized sliding window for egress.
