Just curious - why would the landlord be held liable if a tenant commits a sex offense ? 

Market is oversaturated currently, many landlords are not making any money. 

However, landlords face maintenance, damage risk, and financial burden.

How hard is it to get credit reports and I have read some landlords get livescan on potential tenants. 

Drawing with one plumbing line for all 8 units and drawing a more efficient separate water lines to each unit is the same amount of work for him, just the former being wasteful for the long future as a landlord.

Some landlords have requested cameras (they being responsible for setting those up if they want them) or already have cameras installed, but you want to make sure any prospective tenant is fully aware cameras are actively recording and it's clearly communicated to them.

We have a 14-page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

Hi BiggerPockets Family,I am looking to insure a triplex that I own in Philadelphia which is under my LLC.  Does anyone have any recommendations?

A property manager could ease landlord duties.

Short term, assuming the real estate lobby doesn't sue this to keep delaying/appealing, once it goes into effect there will be no more broker fees paid by tenant *unless they hire the broker*Some long term effects I can predict already: - Landlords now having to absorb broker fees will bake this into the rent (e.g. how "no fee" units typically are priced a little higher than other units) - Real estate board will require another document (or checkbox) for tenants to sign stating that they're hiring the listing broker and responsible for compensating them for their fee *if* they apply and are approved- Regular New Yorkers will have an even harder time to find an apartment because you cannot legislate/regulate away a housing crises...
