@Sherilyn SpearsAdding it addendum is unusual and should have been disclosedLender has no clue who lives in home and on a foreclosed home whoever lives there will not say who they areMany times it’s owner occupied but they will say they are not the owner so they won’t get served with a lawsuit

A statement that xxx is a deadbeat who didn't pay per our agreement can cause lots of trouble if the person making the statement has even a little of gray on their white suit.Virtually no large company today will give job references because of the potential for lawsuits from stemming from disputed facts.

Could that be grounds for a lawsuit in the future? 

If someone had gotten hurt after I said something they likely could have been facing a seperate lawsuit.

I'm simply someone with a lot of experience when it comes to TCPA lawsuits because there's nothing I hate more than health insurance or auto warranty companies cold calling/texting my personal phone.

Its also common for them to file lawsuit after lawsuit until the court prohibits them from doing so.

And keep in mind that even in those cities where the STR is fully approved, they can still change the ordinance back and forbid STRs as they did it last year in Anaheim (lawsuit in progress between hosts and the city).

Maybe you can find a house that is big enough for your family that also has an in-law suite that you could rent out.

If it doesn't have a lead certificate on file, it IS going to cost you to delead, the state has pretty much made it mandatory at this point (at least if you want to avoid the liability of a lead paint lawsuit from a past tenant).

We went to a lawyer that specializes in insurance repair denials and he advised that if we pursued a settlement we would not want to repair the damage until the lawsuit was settled.
