This indicates that there is something that's leading her to not feel comfortable providing you with the contact information of previous landlords.But also keep in mind that it may simply be a case of negligence or a mistake.Either way, contact her and ask for her reasoning.

The lender might hike the rate up a bit or add a bit to the origination to compensate for the small loan amount, but these are usually negligible.

First and foremost, you must provide your tenants with a safe living environment.The landlord in this case is facing up to 20 years of prison due to his negligence.

It won't release the owners from any personal negligence.

Meaning if there is a leak which causes a mold issue and company did not let us know or if there is a hazard that we are not aware of and company does not notify us for the problem to be fix can we still found negligence?

Talking about people dying is taking it a little far, imo.Again, I disagree.Worst-case scenario with respect to liability is death due to your negligence.

(as long as you were not determined to be at fault or negligent in the loss)

So my last tenant moved out Sunday. I got the keys from her and looked around the place and the bathroom floor was soaked. She said "oh I think that toilet is leaking". Upon closer inspection the A/C drain was clogged...

However, in this case, there was obvious negligence on the part of your contractor and the court, should it come to this, may see it as such.

Was this a badly negligent act or just plain stupidness?
