If you are talking to the right attorney they will already have this contract mastered and will have already defended it in court a few times and improved it along the way.

But if they do, you’ll have written documentation to defend.

Any liability claim will probably be made against the landlord AND the landlord's agent (look in mirror to identify that defendant).Remember, it still costs money, time and emotional bandwidth to defend a lawsuit against you that may eventually win.I think @Greg M. had it right - cut ties now.Think of it this way. 

The moral of the story is even if you had all your paperwork in a row and you did everything to the legal standard if they get an attorney and sue you and you have to hire an attorney to defend yourself you will end up paying a large amount and legal costs even if you win.

I am in real estate investing, to be able to free myself from my 9 to 5 job and hopefully to answer God's call in my life as a full time minister or Pastoral Ministry.

Without having to pay a lawyer.You should also know, though, that if you do win and you decide to hire a lawyer, you normally can also get the judge to order the defendant to pay your lawyer's fees. 

It's worth every penny to either have your atty review your lease or provide you with one that they will defend in court. 

But I vigorously defend service members.

I also investigate and defend physicians and medical groups against unfair insurance company practices in mediation. 

Management companies will have insurance to handle attorneys, but that insurance will also generally provide that the client (the management company) cannot be acting in gross negligence or otherwise breach of duties, i.e. the insurance company is not going to pay to defend you if you are doing wrong and know/should know you are doing wrong. 3.
