I was actually trying to edit my post to add in there if anybody thinks I am in the wrong and she is right not to want to deal with that, but since it's been 15 min since I posted, it wouldn't let me edit.

But it does make sense to seek counsel on how to handle future situations, edit my standard lease, etc.  

But that didn’t stop him from animating each story with vivid detail, crude artwork, amateur editing, and bizarre narration.

EDIT: forgot to answer the original question.

Edit: What Joe said.

Great book, includes all forms and contracts you need and it's cheap, and written by lawyers:https://store.nolo.com/products/the-california-landlords-law-book-lbrt.htmlThey keep it up-to-date, too, so until they come out with a new edition, you can check online for free updates on laws, etc.

edit:  apparently I don't know how to tag people yet.

EDIT: Agree with above posters - you're unlikely to receive any compensation on a potential judgment, as the bankruptcy will likely wipe out that potential debt for tenant.

Great contracts and they're editable in case you need to add a parking clause or whatever.

I was recommended to on-site, but I don't see anywhere for a contract I can edit.
