., special statutory definitions include murder committed with malice aforethought, characterized by deliberation or premeditation or occurring during the commission of another serious crime, as robbery or arson (first-degree murder) and murder by intent but without deliberation or premeditation (second-degree murder)It would still be non-renewal, mutual termination and immediate. sorry I would never change a position on this. 

It had to have been there a month or so, and looked deliberate.

@Scott S.Thank you for your post and JPMORGAN link

And the PM played into the tenant's drama queen attitude, and when we (I became involved at this point) told them there would be no large sewer job and they were being fired - they deliberately freaked out the tenant telling them that the place was uninhabitable, trying to get the tenant to force my daughter into doing the sewer job.I went down and talked to them.

Then, his superior, who was maybe the CEO - another executive anyway - actually wrote an email or put something in the company newsletter telling the entire staff of the company all about what the naughty executive did.This damaged the fired executive's reputation and his career, and he sued for libel.In a landmark decision, the court found that even though the boss told the truth about the naughty exec, because he'd acted with malice, to deliberately hurt the guy's reputation, the court found the boss guilty of libel.So, the bar has moved as far as what libel is, too.  

Or expect to pay them all, and expect the absolute worst case scenario - where they deliberately find a bad tenant and charge you a fee for doing so, then they charge you fees for dealing with all of the problems with that tenant, and they charge you for a ton of repairs that weren't needed or were overpriced, then they charge you fees to get rid of the tenant, then they charge you fees to find another bad tenant - and then when you decide to fire them, they charge you a fee to fire them.If all of that sounds like fun and a smart business decision and costs you're ready to part with, and can still make a profit that you're happy with....then hire a PM.Or, manage your own properties and stay in control and keep all of your profits.  

As far as I know, unless it's an actual insurance claim where the insurance company would use their own attorneys - like fighting a claim on your behalf against a tenant who deliberately set a fire, that sort of thing - you'd have to have separate legal insurance, which I don't think would be cost-effective to buy for a landlord.

Create" as used in a title insurance policy "refers to a conscious, deliberate causation or an affirmative act which actually results in the adverse claim or defect."

The fee was $19.04, so the letter underestimated the financial impact by over 50%, in what I think was deliberately misleading and an intentionally dishonest attempt to undervalue the costs passed on to CSC's Customers.

If you are deliberate, you can develop a plan for the top 20-30 problems in a few months before you experience any of them.
