I suppose it's too late to specify in the contract that the board be
removed, huh? Darn.

Nope. We got an amazing deal and owner was not interested in fixing
anything. We are fortunate it doesn't need any major work.

Cool. Be grateful for large and small blessings and re-do when you can.
:-0) Best luck in your new digs. At least you don't have to move
across town. :-0)

Thanks. Moving upstairs wasn't exactly easy though. Our couch didn't fit
and my queen box spring almost didn't fit.

We plan to redo in a few years. The kitchen isn't bad except for the
ancient stove which we are replacing.

That happened here once. That darned turn at the bottom of the stairs
undid us.

For us it was the darned two doorways at the top of the stairs and the
railing in the hall.
I loved my couch. Now I have to buy a new one and it will be tough to
find something that will fit.

You are expecting to put that "kind" of stipulation in a rental
contract? What are you thinking?

Landlords tell you what to accept. The tenant is at their mercy. If I
had a tenant with a request of that type, I would tell
them.....'sorry.....the place is rented'. Hit the road, sweetie!

Probably that it's a contract to buy the house, not a rental.

We are buying a two family. We have been renting downstairs. The
upstairs tenant moved out. Upstairs is nicer (except for the cutting
board situation). And the DH says, we'd rather make the noise, not hear
the noise.

Counters are fairly cheap, Tracy, especially if you look at prefab.
You may be pleasantly surprised if you start looking around.
