I have an environmental remediation company coming to check it out.once rehab is complete it should rent for 1400-1600Brief synopsis of rehab: partial roof (maybe more, there's a sag), sheetrock over existing paneling and paint.  

The box they leave in the basement is *always* going to say a number greater than 4.0, because that's what the testing company - which is also the remediation company - needs it to say to sell the work.I'd really love to call for a radon test on a house, let them put the box in the basement, and then move it out into the fresh air and sunshine in the back yard after they leave. 

To my understanding in real estate law  a person cannot stop paying arbitrarily because of issues  if they are residing in the property they still should pay in lieu of findings from a court etc  if they have not paid you  for your monthly rent  then your recourse is to evict them . of course going to the legal process which unfortunately take some time  if you  PM me  I will send you the statue that you can show to them that hopefully  causes them to continually pay  it would be different if you were a  bad landlord and wasn't trying to take care of the property  they should see that you are remedy the situation it sounds to me that they are just trying to take advantage of the situation or honestly believe that they are in the right

then you can worry about the schedule for remediation.

If the mold is extensive, use a contractor that's certified in mold remediation (these guys can be expensive so shop around.)

Check Paragraph 15 of your Contract for remedies!

In the event the buyer defaults the earnest money deposit should be the sole remedy in How can you get legal liability on that?

Almost, but not quite.I ignore all the mystics, seers and soothsayers with their tinctures, potions and remedies. 

Also, you start jacking up walls and you have a hell of a lot of plaster/drywall work to fix.There's no license needed for this type of work either, just like no license required in Indiana for mold remediation..

However the best way that I remedy this situation is to get 3 quotes.
