Being know to have the capacity not only to defend yourself but also counter be can a great benefit too.

You need to be comfortable with defending your lease, then be open to compromise.

I also got sued by the city of Chicago for Elite's code violations, was listed as co-defendant just because I invested with Elite.

But I want to defend larry's theory here: He suggests bid low numbers for anything over 75 days, not on the market for a few weeks.

As mentioned above I strongly recommend speaking with an attorney who will advise on the best contract to use, wording and be able to defend you should you get sued (unlikely).

I used Champions School of Real Estate in Plano.  

I don't know if they could make that stick but you would need to defend it.  

Now if you get sued you have insurance company lawyers trying to defend you as they are on the hook.

@ Brian Pulaski I’m not attempting to defend the landlord and I’m certainly not defending the idea of not paying taxes.

If the answer is no then have them sign a form stating to the affect that no tenant rep broker is involved in this deal and if one is used the tenant will pay all costs associated with it.We have a form in commercial transactions signed that only so and so companies are involved in the transaction and that buyer and seller will defend any outside claims otherwise.
