What precautions should I take before/after changing locks?

In my opinion, it sounds like you bought the cameras as a precaution due to the previous break in so I don't see how a judge would favor you in requiring restitution for the cost of the cameras.

Or google a form..And proof of advertising is like posting your ad on Craigslist you can print it off.or take photo of sign outside time stamped ,, usually you wouldn't need it but a precaution.

Quite frankly, I know that cockroach infestations can take several months (if not years) to solve, and that we cannot necessarily count on our neighbors to take correct precautions to "starve out" the roaches.

If you know when your being inspected take the precaution and do a inspection yourself with notice at least a week prior to them coming out.

Make sure to take all necessary precautions!

Just taking precautions.

There is still no guarantee, but taking these precautions will limit your risk more than an LLC will protect you.
