Have you dealt with the magistrate court in Columbia?

Screening is essencial as we have a high number of "educated" tenants and professional tenants in the province.Do not rent to anyone on any form of government assistance, the rent is not guaranteed, they are the highest risk tenants in the province and you can not collect when they default, the government has declared them to be a protected species.Join a local landlord association.

Once you transfer ownership, you lose any guarantee, stated or statutory, that you received in the deed that put the property in your names.There are probably more points to consider, but I don't have that information.Incidentally, if the LLC were sued, and the Plaintiff Attorney requested the Court to pierce the veil and allow each of you to be sued individually because there was no legitimate business purpose for the LLC except shielding liability, you would have to defend that argument (I never predict what a Judge will do, they often don't know themselves until they do it).Be careful with this.Good Luck.Michael Lantrip

What if you make up the number and it goes to court?

See if you can have a tri-fold pamphlet made to put at the local court office where evictions are handled. 

If the lease says the tenants pay if it's their fault then I'd pay for a company to come out and snake it to the main with a camera and get a statement as to fault and if it's not their fault then they can escrow rent in the amount of the plumbing costs and fight it out in court.

She had to have the tenant evicted and that took years to do because the tenant played the court system and the court system allowed it to happen.

@Judy Schutz This is an issue that has reached some of the highest courts. 

And you won't get one without a court order.If I do make $40-$50 million doing what I do, rest assured I will have a training course and a shelf of books for sale and a traveling guru seminar and I will most certainly mightily and righteously insist in all of them that my success was all thanks to pulling myself up by my own bootstraps through taking the right risks, a good attitude, leveraging competitive advantages, AND OF COURSE HARD WORK.Because hard work will set you free, or as it was once put in German, "Arbeit macht frei."

Force them to jump through the hoops and force them to declare themselves disabled, and to get a doctor to vouch for it.
