So I feel no guilt in exercising such when one person is impeding upon, creating harm to, others as in this case.     

A consumer who has been harmed can not file a claim against a businesses E&O insurance. 

Mold can be harmful, so gear up with a mask, gloves, and goggles before attempting any DIY.

Don't rush into sealing; make sure it's truly needed and won't cause more harm than good.

Depending on your strategy and goals, maybe this structure can help you.It sounds to me like there would be no economic substance in paying yourself rent other than to lower your tax bill.

There are some exceptions: if landlord can prove it causes undue financial or administrative harm to landlord; the animal is a direct threat to the health or safety of others (bodily harm)...

Thank the Lord nobody was harmed.

appreciate you taking time to reply, that's very considerateI was going to put the property in the LLC anyway for the normal reasons - I don't think there's any harm in that for now, I'll keep consulting for the main point for what parts might look like a "sale" of the property.

The LLC is doing no good and is actually harming your plans.

Account Closed, your forgot the folks with substance abuse problems and gambling addictions, and of course those who are really terrible landlords.
