If additional insured is added for the buyer, the policy only covers the buyer for lawsuits brought against the buyer because of the contractors actions.

. - sourceAnd while the average project approval time for new construction is about four months nationally, it takes eight months on average in L.A.To recap, here are some of the challenges inhibiting development in LA:Getting entitlements for new development is expensive and timelyNIMBYism and the control of local communities over the planning process adds tremendous risk as a project could be stopped due to law suits, lack of approvals, or requirements which make deals unprofitableThe high cost of land and entitlements coupled with a lack of incentives restricts the pool of developers who can afford to developBecause it is so challenging to develop and because we have such a shortage of housing, developers can only make their deals profitable if they target high-end buyers, further contributing to macro-gentriction wherein only the affluent can own homesThat said, it isn't impossible for a developer to develop.

I've already filed an eviction lawsuit with a court date late this month.

You will obviously need to evict 1 of them....I would suggest evicting both to allow you to get in there and pick which unit you want, prevent a lawsuit for targeting one and not the other, & after moving into the property find a new tenant of your own through screening. 

@Bill Gulley thanks for looking out.I do have friends and family still in lawsuits from the turning of the market around 2006 so its really important for me to get things right.  

@Kevin McDonaldI completely agree with Account Closed on doing the repairs prior to the tenant move in just to avoid any lawsuits.

It is clear that the lender doing that has more intentions of taking a property back than allowing another lender in a junior position to pay them off, like saying, I don't really want my money, I want the property back after default.Saying no other liens won't be enforced; an owner who gets a judgment from some other matter such as a law suit or tax matter is not an event of default to foreclose. 

One or more lawsuits and the longer you wait to fix the problem it will likely become more expensive to fix.

She unfortunately passed away as a result.You got a letter about a wrongful death law suit and a few other allegations of negligence -- the wrongful death just stood out.
