If they fail to do that and it results in water damage, the tenant is liable.If water gets inside the home and the tenant is aware of it but fails to report it, they are negligent and therefore liable.If the tub is dripping and they fail to report it to me so I can fix it, they are negligent and liable.If they leave a window open and rain water comes inside the home and damages the flooring or window sill, they are negligent and liable.It sounds to me like your friend has no idea how to care for a home.

Have him fight the claim with the insurance company.If that fails, put it on the market as a rehab property.You might clarify whether you mean a mobile home or a modular home. 

Hi I'm in Washington State, and finally (after a number of failed offers) have a property under contract.

In general, "If a home buyer discovers a material defect that the seller failed to disclose before the close of the sale, the law may give them the right to cancel the transaction." 

If Buyer receives actual notification from Lender that any Financing Contingencies identified85 above have failed or otherwise cannot occur, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller, and the parties shall have business days (two [2] if not filled86 in) following the date of Buyer’s notification to Seller to either (a) Terminate this transaction by signing a OREF 057 Termination Agreement87 and/or such other similar form as may be provided by Escrow; or (b) Reach a written mutual agreement upon such price and terms that will permit88 this transaction to continue.

If the latter, think about if the investment in buying the linens is worth the experiment.Personally, as a host I'd hate for my guests to fail to read something, then show up and go "Where are the sheets?"

Doing a rent to own or contract for deed in Texas is rarely done and requirements are very  I always find the answer to my questions before I ever get to read the comments on here lol the law of attraction never fails . 

Vet them like a sponsor.Some larger equity funds have a strategy of taking a large position in order to take over the deal when it fails wiping out other equity investors.Be careful and do your homework on all fronts.

And if it failed, yeah $4,000 is a lot of money but it wouldn't put me out. 

I passed the state but failed the general.
