Ever been in a business dispute where DE was the proper venue and choice of law and the DE Court of Chancery heard the case?

The court system has been known to give tenants tons of flexibility before being evicted.

After constant delay, I received a court order today due to Delta build not paying their contractor, and they are suing me and placing a construction lien.

I certainly give him credit where it's due, he is successful, he doesn't pretend with playing like he's an engineer or wizard that adds value.If you own a restaurant you hire a cook, if it's a fancy joint you hire a chief, if you're in RE you hire a GC, they don't run your business nor are they entitled to a slice of it, they are hired help.

Attorney fees and court cost can be added, it'll just depend on what the judge will allow.

(the strategy has not yet been disputed in court, as most people just make the repairs.)I had a call in Arizona during the summer once, it was 115 degrees, "Hey Ken, the AC broke, will you have it fixed" I said "sure, we always follow the contracts, let me take a look at the Lease and Option agreements" I texted the part from the Option agreement that it is their responsibility to fix the AC, "but I will have it fixed and we will throw away the Option".

I always include a partition waiver (so no one can drag this into court) and a practical exit path: first a right of first refusal (ROFR), then a buy-sell if you can’t agree.

"A victim of domestic abuse or assault in Indiana may terminate a lease by submitting written notice to the landlord or management thirty days before leaving along with a copy of the order of protection or no contact order from the court."

The biggest threat to Cleveland Landlords/investors is the housing court judge.

In PA there are court rulings regarding foreign utility loads being billed to a tenant; see link:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/1073...So probably best to just split it all now.
