I’d have to check court records (maybe?)

@Jeff Mays Michal Jordon was arguable the best basketball player to step on a court and a world class athlete.

Reg. 1.280A-1(c)(2), practitioners should consider Morcos, where the court ruled that the taxpayer could not use the proposed regulation to treat the third floor of his home (which was rented on a long-term basis) as not part of his dwelling unit.

Plus in order to keep a security deposit you need to document everything in extreme detail and may still end up in court over it.

Some counties charge you 25+ dollars and provide you a report file,  not a csv, that is not search friendly and some say you have to come to the court house. 

This probably isn't the best suited/easiest/most efficient tool but it's the one I know and it's free.I've heard a lot of great things about Chief Architect.

I just read this article about the Supreme Court allowing property rights cases to go direct to Federal court.

So, just because you add something to a contract and the other side signs does not mean it will work in court.

Disputes are handled through arbitration (read some past cases to see how biased the arbitrators are - who also have who knows what qualifications and you permitted to record the session.) and not the court.

https://www.thetaxadviser.com/issues/2012/dec/clinic-story-06.htmlIn determining whether the income should be classified as ordinary income or capital gain, the court evaluated nine criteria: (1) the taxpayer’s purpose in acquiring the property; (2) the purpose for which the property was subsequently held; (3) the taxpayer’s everyday business and the relationship of the income from the property to the taxpayer’s total income; (4) the frequency, continuity, and substantiality of sales of property; (5) the extent of developing and improving the property to increase sales revenue; (6) the extent to which the taxpayer used advertising, promotion, or other activities to increase sales; (7) the use of a business office for the sale of property; (8) the character and degree of supervision or control the taxpayer exercised over any representative selling the property; and (9) the time and effort the taxpayer habitually devoted to sales of property.
