I have seen other landlords fend off lawsuits.Generally people that say they get hurt it's very hard to prove.Usually they go see an attorney who sends a letter out fishing for money.The attorney hopes the insurance company will throw some money at it even if it's not valid just to go away.For insurance carriers it's easier to pay out rather than go to court for small amounts and then just up your insurance premium.You have to really fight the insurance company on this and tell the adjuster you want them to fight the claim.In the past I had one tenant claim she broke her leg on the property.We took pictures of her power being out and the cord running from her door outside plugged into one of the vacant units outside plug we had power on for the rehab.She was told not to steal power yet she kept doing it.Police came out and made a report.This documentation we told the attorney fishing for a claim that this shows the character and truthfulness of the person and we would fight them in court and they would get nothing.The lawyer dropped the claim and moved on to easier targets.People are worried about getting sued.Most of the time they never follow through or when they do get an attorney it gets dropped before court.If it goes to court it gets settled with mediation before a hearing.Very rarely does it make it to a hearing unless you are talking big money.When someone claims they got hurt (Who was there??

for the most part, i find my own tenants..occasionally,i've had another landlord or realtor pass a great tenant on to me..if i feel they're gonna be a great tenant, i usually compensate them with half the month's rent or something similar..let's them know i appreciat eit, and a good tennat is more than worth that in my opinion..now, i had a guy send a bad tenant a few years back,and i would never ever trust him to send a tenant my way again..his vouching for anyone's character would mean nothing to me after that fiasco...
