Them’s the pitfalls off renting out property, still no excuse, if its in disrepair you have to have the money or insurance to keep the place up to code.
If you can’t afford to do that, don’t buy the building and rent it out.
But even with the apartment building I grew up in, and my mom stayed until she passed away. You can't believe the utter destruction that happened literally overnight when it became 'mexican'.
The 1st to go was ALL the window screens and screen doors. My mom asked one neighbor why. The answer: 'We don''t have those in Mexico'.
And they just weren't 'removed' but torn-ripped off. That's a hell of a lot of window and door repair costs for a 12 unit building all at once.
