People form LLC and insurance will cover damages up to a certain amount.

.; what are their occupations, what is their income, how long have they been there, have they caused any property damage, how well do they seem to maintain their space, what proof does the seller have that the tenants have been paying on-time, etc.?)...

I was looking at painted shaker style cabinets so that I can repair them easily if they are damaged.  

I'm worried about future guests damaging their cars on it, or damaging the driveway. 

@Erika Whitten  Does this mean that if having a homeowners policy and tenant creates fire damage, and LandLord does not live there anymore, that the insurance company will not cover the claim for fire damage?

Other pets, like a turtle, that are predominantly in a cage and won't feasibly cause damage are fine.

Because there’s some asbestos in the material above it, we decided to just abandon the damaged piping and reattach further down the line.

They made the errors that caused the damage.

I can get 95% occupancy on my 1BRs and there is almost never any damage aside from linens and towels and the occasional little things.

If the apartment has apparent damage from the pets, we'll send the tenants a non-renewal letter instead of our 'welcome' letter and we offer to let them out of the lease early.
