It's not your fault that the tenant has to vacate, so the tenant should have insurance to protect them against any additional expenses.

Early on, rents would remain market-aligned to ensure the portfolio generates the income needed to cover expenses, pay investors, and reinvest in expansion.

.- Tell them they'll have to provide you with a copy of their renter's insurance naming you as additional named insured, with a minimum of (I use $300,000) liability insurance, also before they move into the unit.It's not perfect, but it's a start toward a tenant transparency.

And, be sure to reinspect the property to ensure that the problem has been fixed.  

After some additional research we have decided to focus on the aforementioned markets, but I will keep you in mind if we decide to look at Columbus more closely in the future. 

Any additional input would be great.

You would also want to add the LLC entity as an "Additional Insured" party onto the landlord insurance for the property.
