I saw discussions about tenants suing for negligence and the potential of an investor to lose everything.This may be the purpose for someone setting up an LLC, but for someone just getting started, it may not be reasonable to start one.Does anyone have any stories or insight about this?

They paid for the roof part, but the interior was mine to pay for despite the cause being their negligence. 

Certainly, if they were negligent and caused a fire, they would be at fault and the liability part would cover damages.

Most PM contracts protect them against general negligence but this seems like gross negligence and I agree they should pay utilities, or at least absorb the costs of the eviction process.

If it's due to their negligence, that's one thing.

Only about $1,000 is due to tenant negligence.

Also if you happen to do something the court deems negligent, the LLC will not protect you.

You have to be doing something negligent and/or unlawful. 

And this goes back to my comment earlier about most damage (and injury) caused by animals is really the product of negligent behavior on the behalf of that animal's owner and handler. 

I wanted to seek your advice because on one hand, I have tenants that need to be taken care of with proper living conditions and on the other hand the company I've hired to do that is negligent and can't be trusted to do the right thing.I want to fire this company but should i wait until repairs are complete?
