The exception may be if you personally witnessed an abusive event ... and then it would probably have to be physical abuse before most authorities would take any action (policy forces and the judicial system are just starting to understand other forms of abuse {emotional, financial, etc} ).

You are taking "action" which is the hardest thing for most people to do, so I commend you for that.If you have a limited marketing budget but have the time, driving for dollars can be a great strategy.

Evidence of this action is nowhere in the courthouse records where the property is located.7.

Now they are apparently issuing a request for a refund - what, if any, legal action can I take?

:Framing Contingency - 70% chance of $5000Permitting Contingency - 50% of $1000Other Contingencies - 50% of $4000Nearly every old construction house has wood rot issues ... predictably bathroom room floors by the toilet, kitchen floor by the sink, and roof decking ~5%.

Can you pursue a money judgment against him as part of the eviction, or would you have to file a seperate action?

Tenant will be responsible for: all stopped up sinks, showers, tubs, toilets, or drains; burned out light bulbs; all exterior landscaping and lawn maintenance including but not limited to: the care of shrubbery, landscaping, mowing, and providing for prompt garbage removal.

Problem is-I NEED A PLAN OF ACTION TO GET THIS GOING QUICK!

How about: 1/3 Gold 1/3 Berkshire Hathaway 1/3 Tax free munis No tenants, no toilets, and no taxes

You can also apply things that are flat out wrong or only half right at best and not get the results you want.So learn as accurately as possible and the put that best information into action.
