Hey there I'm contemplating purchasing an apartment for a rental property.I'm interested in hearing some pros and cons of buying and apartment vs condo, townhouse etc.What is the downside to buying a single apartment?

However if the tenant was a victim of an assault because BF broke in then tenant is probably not liable as he was not an invitee or a guest. 

The liberal judges I have faced recently with my Evictions that are coming to an end because I am selling most of my rentals, have said that my Three Day Notice was not served on the tenant when I personally served them and they tore it up in my face, shoved me backwards, spit in my face and started taking pictures in case I reacted so they could call the cops for assault.

They will not contemplate that short payoff until something actionable occurs.  

Therefore, if the tenant gets killed or assaulted, you will be sued for not keeping them safe.

They must have at least been contemplating this when they started to rent from you.

Very motivating for the many of us on here that are contemplating the same thing--- maybe we need a little "kick start" like your post did for me.lots of luck!

Liability out the wazoo-- roommates bringing guests over, complete strangers living with each other (alcohol, assault, drugs, etc.).

All other scores are wasted time and effort to contemplate.

Not learning from mistakes or contemplating what went right / what went wrong in past tenancies would be foolish.If a tenant is evicted I can guarantee that tenant isn't walking around saying "my favorite landlord was Bob because he followed the law when he evicted me.
