I'm incredulous that you believe an 80 year old man who has real assets that exceed the limits set forth by the federal governement for receiving benefits is poor.

Even though you might think that 7-8 people is too many for a one  or 1.5 bath unit, the federal guidelines don't require multiple baths (as far as I know).

Husband but not the wife had a $2,000,000 Federal Tax Lien. 

the assessor in our area uses a rental calculation to determine taxable value.

I must comply with all state and federal laws as an employer in the State of Nevada, including payroll deductions (FICA and Income Tax withholding), provide industrial insurance coverage and pay required unemployment compensation for that employee.If my project requires the repair, restoration, improvement or construction of a pool or spa, I acknowledge my obligation and duty to comply with the provisions of NRS 624.900 - NRS 624.930 (Inclusive).I acknowledge that I have received copies of NRS 624.900 - NRS 624.930 (Inclusive) and NRS 278.573 So going to court with a handful of paint material receipts and a the $500. spent on labor will cause the landlord to loose.

In CA (not sure if it's federal or just our State), the court cannot change the terms of a Note. 

I looked on the county website, and I found info on the "Taxable Property Value" per the lot I'm looking at.  

No representations can be made on how any court in any state or federal, will interpret the regulations or apply them, and that said interpretation or application will be different from this analysis of the law.Therefore, there is no guarantee that relying on this analysis will prevent governmental or civil actions against the lender/seller.

While they still have to follow certain federal guidelines they also have flexibility to come up with their own guidelines in other areas.

I know some states are more strict than federal on exemptions, but she should check as I don't think hers is.
