    They are afraid, that the renter, will report the illegal apartment, the renter of the illegal apartment may also sue for all his rental money to be refunded since the apartment was not legal to rent. Also there would be fines from the local government because of the violations. Also if they did any remodel, without permits to allow for rentals, there could be fines and required changes to the home.

    So this is why they are scared and do not want to take it to court. If the renter, wants revenge he has many options.

    That's why he can't evict. That's two illegal apts.


    That's just it. He really can't trust that he won't cause trouble. He seems to
    Be led by his daughter who is very unfriendly and probably doesn't want him
    To move in with her. The woman who wants to buy the house also has an
    Apt within the house and her own entrance... so he could get into a lot
    Of trouble.
    What we said a couple of weeks ago still applies. The owner can evict the man occupying the first " illegal apartment". The eviction court isn't going to care about whether it's "illegal", or whether there is a second "illegal apartment" in the premises. And if the daughter causes trouble with the building department, it again comes down to the circumstances under which either "illegal apartment" was created.
