There's a LOT of conflict involved in being a LL that will come at you from many directions: neighbors, government, tenants, repair-people, and so on.Your best defense is a strict adherence to all codes and laws, a clear and enforceable lease, and documentation.Unfortunately, in spite of being totally in the RIGHT you can still show up in small claims court and LOSE!
