Any damage to the rooms.... bill the county.

However, our experience has been the tenant is more likely to bolt prematurely once they have been served notice.To start the eviction process (here a Notice to Vacate is served first) requires cause - missed rent, damage, disturbance complaints, police calls to unit, etc - and cannot simply be served/filed "in case" the tenant does not move at the end of her/his lease.Perhaps there is simply some loose terminology being communicated by the Vendor and s/he has simply served a Notice of Termination on the tenants.  

You also have proof of the condition of the rental after a tenant moves out to show damage that the renter caused.

What caused all the water damage?  

As I mentioned to the supposed investor on the other end of the phone, he really did damage the brand of FB to me when I went through that, and so it gives me all the more pause when I say what I'm about to say -- but my personal feeling is that they may have some legitimately good stuff to get you started.

(If, as in this case, unrelated parties are sharing a lease, we can end up with more than one security deposit account for a given unit).Landlord portion follows whatever is in the lease (did they give you enough notice or is any rent due post-move-out, any damage at post-move-out inspection, etc.).  

They are a family and they keep up the yard and do not cause any damage to the property.

The damage happens quickly.

I found two properties by my house here in Norwalk one is vacant and the other one has fire damage

Is your offer subject to change based on what comes out in the DD (i.e. foundation damage, rent rolls seem fake etc)?
