So I have a co-living insurance policy at replacement cost with rental loss coverage - Steadily only works when its 4 bedrooms or less and they really don't want it (usually causes non-renewals).

my bathroom caused a leak to the unit downstairs.

Even though you didn’t install the door or cause the issue, the property (and everything in it) became your responsibility the day you closed.

Which then causes the milestones or each step to get dragged out due to (way too many people/hands) touching the file.There is a process called ELA or Express Loan approval a buyer can ask for up front. 

Do you try and force them to get sober, how long does it take before you realize it's a hopeless cause?

@Jesse PaxtonThe Real Estate Crash of 2008-2010 caused real estate prices to crash across the country - but didn't affect rent amounts.

You have have a few things contributing to that like over priced homes, rents coming down, increased  contract defaults, Mortgage rates now dropping fast causing a rebound from renters market back to buyer's market.Unless your into and secure with section 8 and have confidence in that contract and security it is tougher than 5 years ago. 

@Collin Silva since you're new, you may find this info helpful:)The Real Estate Crash of 2008-2010 caused real estate prices to crash across the country - but didn't affect rent amounts.

Not sure who would ask that or who would donate to your cause other than direct family or very close friends..

So their counter argument is "it's worth that much cause we said all the others are"I'm leaning towards a formal dispute.
