I live in Orange County, NY, and own a two-family house. We are looking for considerate tenants who do not engage in loud music or hostile behavior. We do not want to discriminate based on age, race, sex, or marital status. What can we request, and are we allowed to limit the number of tenants or refuse those with past jail issues? Are there any useful screening tools to help avoid dysfunctional individuals?

What happens if I backed up at a driveway and hit a parked cop car with minimal damage? The police filed a report and offered to fix my car or let me handle it through insurance. I'm unsure if there are any legal issues or if I'm required to file any paperwork with the DMV. What should I do in this case?

I'm in escrow buying a property where I agreed to allow the seller to continue to park 10 cars. How do I record an allowance for that? My property is part of a mini mall and customers will be parking. I can section off 10 parking spaces and allow their customers or my tenants to park.
