@Svend W. your lease should have clauses that describe what happens when there are unpreventable situations that prevent occupation (like a tree falling on the house, or pipes bursting)--this clause should be designed to limit your liability in such situations. 

Others write because that's literally how they put food on the table.

For instance, inadequate/improperly designed water diversion systems can cause major problems (e.g.; rot, masonry degradation, foundation settling) that won't emerge for several years.

We have a property owner not far from me that has literally 4 acres full of rusted cars, trucks, busses, trailers, tires, and tractors.

@Stephen BrownI am a licensed salesperson without a Realtor designation or Broker affiliation.

How would you feel if I were your designated agent,and I put my wants before your needs?

I am the person that brings the laptop literally everywhere.
