It does not apply for lease violations or holdover. 

I'm merely trying to convey the importance of ensuring the way one goes about doing so does not violate regulatory rules. 

CITY BUILDING RECORDS: The second place to identify properties that may be in distress is municipal building record department; many municipalities have digitized their records, meaning that you can search for properties that have building code violations.

You may want to talk with an attorney that specializes in SEC law to ensure you are not violating securities law. 

Violation of lease terms and criminal activity are still allowed evict-able actions.  

You want the mediator to see every violation, every damage repair, all the calls, but above all else, show the mediator how you have been responsive and attentive.

There are tons of rentals in that town breaking that rule bc it’s pretty much unenforceable unless someone calls in a code violation.

If it’s bad shape it is a code violation and the city may require you to fix it anyway.  

So any involvement you have DURING the selection process can open them up to liability and fair housing violations.

I had a new tenant just moving in last week and has already broken the HOA rules (brining guests onto the sundeck, smoking, bringing glassware, cigarette damage) according to a letter from the association manager, no pictures were taken, just a list of violations.
