I appreciate the time and effort put into this message.

Showing effort can go a long way.Avoid threats or pressure – Since legal occupancy may be in question, trying to enforce rent without correcting violations could backfire, especially if the tenant escalates the issue to local authorities.Seek legal advice before proceeding – You’ll want to avoid taking action that could violate housing laws or tenant protections in your area.Getting the CFO should be a top priority, and once it's resolved, it’ll put you in a much stronger position moving forward.Hope this helps, and best of luck navigating it.
