2) Then it's your turn to find ways to justify and you have to show the officer why. (it's super painful)

*Cheap* is subject so you have to make sure you have a huge list of examples.

9/10 times, owners lose. (based on the cases I've dealt with).
Oh, I know it's not easy as I just finished helping a family member go through this exact process. However, it's just an alternative solution I'm offering for the OP. Better a two or three month delay with a potential positive outcome than try to illegally kick the tenant out and deal with the aftermath.
