I enter into all of my leases with the assumption that I will have to provide supporting evidence to a court to prosecute an eviction and likewise to defend a claim by my tenant.

Be prepared to defend it yourself or prep your RE Agent to defend it for you. 

In the event of a frivolous lawsuit by a personal injury lawyer your insurance will provide you with a competent lawyer eliminating the time you would have to commit defending yourself and pay for those legal fees.

MAYBE if u did in fact finance this purchase, and have taxes escrowed, you can use that to defend against the tripling with the tax office....try that!

Account Closed  the reality though is does not matter. you will get sued personally.. so its best to have good insurance and hand it to them to defend..

Thanks @Wayne Brooks @Kelly Durrant and @Jeff RabinowitzI just spoke to the defendant's attorney and he confirmed that the foreclosure attorney would likely not speak to me. 

Otherwise, a plaintiff's attorney may be able to "pierce the corporate veil" by showing, "Defendant claimed he operated a separate business, but he really wasn't, and here's why: He used his own bank account, he used his personal credit card on company business, he used his home address, he never held an annual meeting, he didn't record the decisions that the business supposedly made, etc."

Which basically means that there must be some sort of internal hearing process where the accused person has the right to defend her actions.

I am not going to try to defend the people involved here as I don't know the GC personally but obviously I am not planning to go in this partnership blind.

Unfortunately that doesn't stop them from filing a lien, and you still have to show up to defend it, but without the Notice to Owner, they can't enforce a lien.I hope your experience with the BBB is better than mine.
