That one hurts, but my projections based off of the initial proposals showed in my case (and a lot of hypotheticals I ran for my firm’s tax blog) showed that most people still benefit due to lower tax rates, expanded tax brackets, benefits to business owners and investors, and elimination of AMT (which sadly was only modified and not eliminated in the amended Senate bill).

The only amendment on carried interest that was voted on was offered by Sen.

(Amended by Stats. 2010, Ch. 596, Sec. 1.

Both house and senate wanted that EXCLUSION OF GAIN FROM SALE OF A PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE (section 121 exclusion) to be modified to at least 5 out of 8 years instead of current 2 out of 5 years, In version that passed house it said: "The amendments made by this section shall apply to sales and exchanges after December 31, 2017".

But the male tenant is still on the current lease.Does he still not have a legal right to be there, unless that is amended, and a lease signed only with her?

If the tenant violates the lease, I address it and follow or amend the lease as needed.These days people don't fully read or comprehend what they sign, nor are they aware of the underlying local and federal codes that apply to a lease.  

I was thinking of writing some amendment for the owner to sign saying they didn’t collect any security deposits from A,B,C tenant so that if this issue comes up in the future we can refer them to the sellers.

When I pulled the deed which the last amended deed was in 1985.

Can we add an amendment on the lease agreement?

I figure we would quit claim deed to my existing LLC after closing with an updated operating agreement (amendment) stating 50/50 ownership of this property.
