Your process is simple.Remove all lead from property to go lead free (only option to protect u from liability, unless you intend to have "no assets" that u can be sued for) 1. How? Call neil or whoever can give u a lead free cert. assume all old windows/trim/doors go, as well as old stair railings treads before calling, but have him zap your place and tell you everything that must go, you might be able to keep some stuff. 2. Do the work. 3. Bring him back to confirm everything is gone in your completed house. 300 bucks to the lead guy and you're lead free.

No need to overthink this, your solution is within a few miles of where you live. Lottery tickets, 150k worth....you're welcome.

Lottery tickets...boom

Hire a contractor, pull the permit, do the work, pass the inspection, be finished. Stop looking for shortcuts. Inspector told you what to do, do it. If you want clarification on whats required, go in person to housing on fayette st... confirm what he says is required is required. If so, do it.

Maybe change something to stop getting your house broken into??

Only two questions should matter here 1. Are they messing your house up 2. Are they paying the bills. 

1. ? Pay for the damage or ill take it from your security deposit. (Kicking them out hurts you, avoid. You have to pay changeover/new tenant/ costs.) 

2. They pay bills? Then see number 1. They dont? Get out. 

P.s. More people?? Who cares. Unless it violates 1 or 2. 

-flipping advice : crowded business all of a sudden, but everyone is looking to hit home runs,  be willing to accept less pretty deals and one could do well.  ultimately, if you build something nice, and its priced reasonably in an area where houses are purchased by the buyers you're looking for. you'll sell it.

-rental advice : know everything about construction, baltimore city landlord/tenant law, lead paint,....before you begin.

if powered correctly, you have a ductwork/return issue.

@Account Closed thanks. But I don't see how that applies if it wasn't in disclosure. You can't expect someone who is not familiar with a particular process to practice caveat emptor principle. It is the sellers responsibility to practice real estate business ethically and honestly. I wouldn't have been this pissed if seller was honest at least I know what I'm getting myself into. But I will contact seller and lawyer and see. I believe with all my heart seller knew though.

 caveat emptor = disclosure or no, your home inspector exists to spot such things and did a ****** job, which can be assigned to you because you hired your home inspector....if what you suspect to be true is in fact true. believe doesn't equal prove. unless you can prove, move on. Fyi, find where the water enters from and rectify it. its a solvable problem.

caveat emptor....call an attorney
