Have you ever heard of a Landlord being sued by a Tenant and losing property?

Have you ever heard of a Landlord being sued by a Tenant and losing property?

You can't deduct reasonable wear and tear from the security deposit in Wisconsin, even though I sometimes see landlords try.

or those that are full time landlords and have a lot of depreciation already.. 

Any other landlords/owners that this happened too please reach out to me directly. 

@Raul Mena There’s really no need for an LLC at this time, but landlord insurance and/or an umbrella insurance policy may be a good idea to give you extra protection because of those other people living in your home.

provided that the building or the landlord allows it. 

Or are the landlord laws simply too draconian in California to warrant the risk? 

We embrace S8 applicants, but screen them just like any other applicant.Many have an entitlement mentality and try to leverage their S8 voucher by pretending to be helpless:1) A percentage won't apply because they expect a landlord to waive application fees for them.2) Many cry broke and expect a landlord NOT to charge them a security deposit.3) Many of those same S8 tenants trying to avoid paying a security deposit, won't make an effort to call the list of nonprofits we send them that will pay their security deposit if they apply.4) A lot of them try to avoid paying for utilities.

As a landlord, I verified the work needed by pictures being sent, and arranged for a contractor to go in person who is licensed and insured to give an estimate for the work stating to management company this would likely have to come out of a security deposit.The management company was initially asked prior to me arranging this appointment with contractor, to have someone professional quote the damage, and they disregarded my wishes and without my knowledge, or notifying me, granted consent to the tenant to fix the door " in any way they see fit, and to attempt to fix it themselves to the degree of their liking."
