I can't possibly imagine trying to defend some of these suggestions in court.

Tenants are not known for being champion record keepers, especially the ones who have been month-to-month for years.

I have two champions between construction and agents, however, I will need to find my lending champion and property management champion hopefully through my agent.  

And my point is 1% would ever see the interior or a courtroom in a full blown trial.these things all get settled in mediation or arbitration that's my personal experience. and you can have all the asset protection you want but if someone sues you   you still have to pay to defend.. they may not collect the judgement but your still out the defense dollars right ? 

I appealed the case, got the same judge, never said one word in either case to defend myself and I lost a 2nd time.I still recommend that you take the landlord to court because a judge will probably invalidate the statement for responsibility, or liability with the exception of malicious damage.

Use someone who will defend your LLC in court.Most lawsuits run about 2 years and cost $50,000 so if your equity after selling your property is more than about $100,000 you likely will get sued, eventually, and should have an LLC.

Posting smear ads and refusing to defend it with intelligeble arguments is just a waste of my time.

Marci,I use a lease I got from my attorney, since I figure they are going to have to defend it in court it would be best to use theirs.  

Then you deliver the writ to the sheriff's office to have it served on the defendant.

I may not understand what you are trying to accomplish so consumer protection laws may not be relevant.Even though a title company may underwrite a title policy for a mere $1,000 face-value policy and issue a warranty deed, I can assure you that should there ever be a challenge in the chain of title, the $1,000 insurance policy will not cover attorney fees to defend against the litigation.
