You have to decide on a sales price, when ownership changes hands, who pays what taxes, what if they run the business into the ground, what is the place burns down, what if someone gets injured and their is a lawsuit, what if the owners pass away or decide it's too big of a project for them.

Animals owned by tenants can injure workers.

I don't want to diminish the idea of keeping ourselves safe, but if you look at how many showings there are across the country compared to the number of incidents like this I'd say you're probably more likely to be injured or killed on the drive to the showing.

The last thing you want/need is this tenant to be injured while doing such work, only to find your liability insurance will deny the claim based upon such an “arrangement”.Also, if you are rehabbing and flipping houses, do not purchase the materials foryour contractors as this too will imply an employee/employer relationship.Get your bid.Pay your contractor and have him buy his own materials based on the bid.

After all this, no attempts where made to remove  ice.the lady who is injured asked our management company for the insurance information to file a claim.
