Don't get overly concerned about public liability but you do need to be aware, keep properties in good and safe condition, know the rules and conduct your business with attention to details and you should be fine and carry insurance....And I believe Texas has an LLC that limits liability to a subject property safeguarding other business assets, which is unique, I suggest you simply form your business in Texas.

Hi Gary Parker, sending out a letter of sympathy is a good way to go as you also communicate that you are sensitive for their loss.

And I would guess that a $1000 a month tenant can't afford to replace their belongings after a loss any better than a $325 a month tenant so renters insurance is a safeguard for either of them...so it might save the tenant in the long run if the landlord mandates a renters policy.

You either accept this risk, and trust the parties that will be having access to this sensitive information, or you don't do this type of deal.Ask the agent how they want the "offer" presented - signed, one page LOI, full realtor contract, etc.

In sensitive areas, why not present your ID plus your driver's license?

Initially, I thought the deposit amount (22%) was a safeguard.

It is likely the last time I use it.I like that in the application phase a prospective tenant doesn't have to give me all their highly sensitive data (social security number mainly), I can just get the non-sensitive other information on an application.

At least until they burn out.They also pay for things out of their own pocket and therefore are sensitive to the price paid at the point of sale.

In some cases, liability can be restricted to the actual property, which enables you to safeguard other assets.

The title implies a fairly large geographic region so there will be a wide range of correct answers.Let me go into this a bit deeper.Many of the numbers you are looking for a highly sensitive to a specific area or a specific type of property.
