ignorantia legis neminem excusat"Ignorance is no excuse"I am just addressing that second part of the question.

These are often tenants who (excuse my english) don't have a pot to piss in.This is the first time I've heard an tenant claim to be a lawyer (before he lost his license).Ignore the threats on this clown. 

It took weeks of hearing excuses and lies before we received our money, and of this note weeks later the person who laid the tile has yet to receive final payment for the completed job.

Wow,Looks like we have 2 situations both explaining similar things in that they were not given a refund on a 60 day money back guarantee and both times, the excuse was the emails were out of date.From a business orginational standpoint, looks like Eric gets an "F" here and the excuses seem lame to me.$97 is certainly not much to risk and a very fair price, but if there exists a refund guarantee, and it is requested, it should be given immediately.

It seems feasible but it may also be another excuse I'm telling myself to avoid getting started now.Alternatively, I could get another place now and rent out my current house.

Each day since Monday has been a new "banking" excuse. 

@Antoine MartelI once tried in Pennsylvania and Columbus, OH but i did not continue as i am not sure if it's a good idea to have a property manager who will be coming to me every month with excuses for eating up all the profit.

Excuse me, but if a lender accepts a quit-claim deed in any state, they can not foreclose, you can't foreclose on a property you take title to.

If the tenant is paying on time and keeping the property "nice", than its hard to evict them.But like you were saying, if the house you bough was not taken care, and you could see some damages, than this is an excuse to legally evict a tenant.

@Mindy NicolRain is not an excuse imho unless it’s a national emergency.
