Is it Legal?
I must ask, regarding the apartment conversions, did you obtain the necessary building permits, meet all building codes and obtain a C of O? The reason I ask is that there are so many thousands of illegal apartments that when a crime does occur at one of them, one of the first things mentioned is that the apartment was illegal, painting the landlord in a very negative light right from the beginning.
Some very good points are raised here. While we have no obligation to retreat when in our own home or a dwelling we are licensed and privileged to be in, does this apply to a rental apartment that we own but do not occupy? Frankly, I don't know the answer. I do know a landlord may not enter a rented apartment except in an emergency, by pre-arrangement or perhaps the result of a clause in the lease.
