Especially because, most are applying, with some type of LEGIT infraction at the time of applying.

You should also check with Code Enforcment as well to make sure there are any infractions against the property. 

As for your landlord.... a few years back when I was a newbie landlord I had a small infraction stated in my late fee sentences in my lease and when I went to evict my tenant, the magistrate found in favor of the tenant because of the misapplication of the late fee language.

I agree with them and the property manager has made good on paying the fine and clearing up the issues with the grass.What I can’t seem to understand is how it is even legal for a municipality to cite and fine 2 owners for the same code infraction.  

Had you been under my command, I would seriously consider Article 15 action and 3 days extra duty for the infraction.

@Theresa Harris ok, so I set up inspection after a warning letter, discover they still haven't corrected the violation, now I post a notice to comply. if they don't, how do you handle that, straight to a lease violation with eviction notice or do you have a system where theyre allowed so many infractions? 

That means you then can't boot them out for non-payment or other infractions, like you can with a short term rental. 

I take CARE of my properties so it seemed like they needed to prove their worth with minor "infractions".

Ok on rereading : have you been documenting all the lease infractions with notices properly posted?

I was just hoping that with so much cushion even with the WORST case scenario 30k wouldn't be terrible.I went online and it said once the issue is resolved, they will have to inspect and a $300 fee would be necessary to remove each infraction AFTER it's been resolved.
