Lawsuit pending. 2018 Increased awareness of disparate impact of criminal history screening Fair Chance Housing Ordinance SMC 14.09.025 disallows use of criminal records in the screening process.

Lawsuits should be viewed as an investment.

The purpose of the LLC is for liability in case or lawsuit, with 1-5 property depending the amount of equity you have, I would simply buy an umbrella policy.

Always be cautious on any purchase, but it may be that the mold is the only serious issue and the seller is not trying to hide anything by not allowing an inspection, just trying to avoid a lawsuit.

The seller backed out last minute because the tenant was threatening to file lawsuit.

So my understanding is if I put a kitchenette in the basement suite then It becomes an in-law suite, which can happen in a single home zone and doesn't require city's approval.

BTW, I used a elderly neighbor keeping an eye on a triplex for some small compensation, and over the long run, things that he notices because he's on site that I can't would save on fines, lawsuits over slips and falls etc.

Can you share, do you have properties that you have taken loans out for and what have you done to protect yourself against potential lawsuits?

You may also be able to find a place with an in law suite type you can live in or you can rent out, if you want the duplex like investment.

Now go to your local magistrate court and file the lawsuit in small claims court.
