Drug dealers do need a place to live and if they get caught you evict them, I don't see anyone being personally liable for that in that it is not negligent nor condoning but rather affording someone their due privacy - if they get caught you evict 'emI am not personally inclined to pursue such a strategy, just fishing for some healthy debate and perhaps a few response from individuals who do succeed in such a niche.The mentality that you have displayed here (and one that I generally agree with) is that of the overhwleming majority of individuals and investors.

And if not; once sued the tenant can receive not only the amount of their deposit, but another fee because of the landlords negligence or unwillingness or whatever you want to call it.

If you own property and the tenant sends you written notification of a faulty electrical wire in the home and you fail to fix it, your insurance and your entity protection are useless because you were negligent.Operate without being negligent, have all workers sign a document that states they have insurance (list their policy number) and hold you harmless agreement.

Hello Folks,
I look after property for a friend of mine who's absentee. I am not a professional property manager in the strict sense that I do not have limited power of attorney--I do not collect the rents and dispers...

it's tough to prove something before you owned the building..i've brought in past maintenence men and property managers to testify in district courts to help these evictions...one thing to consider, i have been countersued for the past landlord's negligence and not doing repairs...at any rate, the quickest and easiest thing to do is give them first months' rent and a deposit to move out..good luck

I don't like angies list because their best people on there get so popular that they become negligent.

If the House, or any part of the House, shall be partially damaged by fire or other casualty not due to Tenant's negligence or willful act, or that of Tenant's family, agent, or visitor, there shall be an abatement of rent corresponding with the time during which, and the extent to which, the House is unlivable.

They are not pierced for negligence and some of the other things people here are worried about.

You got to keep that emergency fund for whatever life throws at you, the interest fees will be negligible if you do things right, heck, if you stop eating out a couple of times a month, that will cover your interest fees.

In a case of negligence, the laws vary by state, in some areas you are liable if without your action, the damage would not have occured (which is the case here) in other states you possibly share liability or avoid liability because the first floor resident who left their water running was contributorily negligent.
