Learning to defend against them is part of it, but I think an owner has truly graduated from "Landlording 101" when he or she can laugh about it. 

I can see this defended pretty easily.  

Should you choose not to do something and then an event happens the insurance will use that against you to deny the claim or spend money defending it.The insurance company wants to be profitable and they do that by not paying out claims and trying to prevent them from happening to begin with.Residential investing is becoming more regulated by the government which is why I really do not like that asset class now.

This is the easiest way to defend yourself against a complaint of discrimination.And, then having written criteria.  

And on the other side of it, if you are ever defending yourself against a lawsuit, you want to show that you do things "by the book", and you have to have "a book" to do that. 

I would think that unless the Condo Declaration or recorded amendments to the Declaration state explicitly how owners can use their property, NC courts would side with (the defendant) an owner renting his/her own property.

Think we all understand the 'Theory' of an inspection and IMO, it's foolish to defend someone so blatantly in the wrong.Sale is closed, so it's all moot now, thank God!

Our court docket lists plaintiff and defendant for all the fed hearings.

You will learn a lot and hopefully never return as a plaintiff nor defendant.

Not the best analogy, but hopefully you get the idea...Again, I'm not defending said tennant.
