Lessor’s insurance does not cover Lessee’s possessions or Lessee’s negligence.

Have you ever read an agreement with a home inspector, gross negligence that is obvious might be your only fall back with that thinking.

If it is a homeowner's policy and a tenant you place in the property causes negligent damage your insurance company isn't going to help you.

I have read some of the many post on this topic, and from what I can work out LLC's offer protection if they are treated and run as a proper business, and not just an easy form of protection against negligence.

Liability comes from your negligence, if you are not negligent you're not really repsonsible, so evaluate your risk amd 500K may do just fine.

California, for example, is horrible compared to Texas, where the standard to hold a property owner liable for a contractor's negligence is exceptionally difficult.

These properties were financed after the safe act went into affect.This attorney you used sounds grossly negligent from what YOU have said in many mistakes.The attorneys I know will send you a document and you read it and they REDLINE any changes and you discuss and go back and forth until you are satisfied.The fact that you didn't read at signing and TRUSTED as you say this lawyer has no bearing on the fact that you should have read it.A judge will see it the same way.What I am seeing is a mess created by two parties being you and your attorney.You have to figure out how to get things back on track.You need to know in each state where you own these properties if you can foreclose and how long that would take and what it would cost and what you could sell for to get any money back and move on.This attorney as you say sounds nice but general practice attorneys I find make numerous mistakes when handling specific areas of law.

If the seller hired someone to do the work and believed it was done, were they actually negligent?

That means .01% of all qualifying expenses which typically won't be much.Sure, the 2 sqft are negligible, but I was not thinking of deducting the 2 sqft home office use (due to more hassle than savings), but rather using it to have the qualifying home office and therefore able to make my home the principal place of business (PPB, to throw in some acronyms).Because it seems the home office is one requirement for a PPB.

What if the tenant plugged something in or left a lit candle or a fire pit and caused it through negligence?
