I used all the CPA's and a lawyer to design our matrix of passive income and loss streams.Knowledge is power!!!!

There might be a local ordinance in Port, but I would be extremely surprised.In your next lease revision, just make it clear that landlord is not responsible for tenant's losses and tenant is advised to get renter's insurance.

The quote for full insurance was way too high to make sense, so the agent let me carry only liability, I self insured for any other loss.

In Utah for example, the Parks were shut down and our State lost millions from the loss in tourism.

You'll want insurance that will pay you in the event of a loss.

I wouldn't allow anyone access and when the time comes, and the court allows you access I would sell whatever is inside to recoup some losses.

A renters insurance can compensate the loss to a great extent but you need to check with your tenant whether he has it or not.

I'm looking at getting a second vacation rental property that would definitely be a loss as there is little time left to recover initial costs.  

This is something I teach in my rentals class and so far, it has worked every time with the landlords that have used it......Getting a tenant to move peacefully and without causing physical damage is hard to doTenants being evicted tend to feel victimized and when they get upset they are a risk to do physical damage to the house and leave behind mountains of trash.It will take a minimum of three weeks to legally evict a tenant and can cost in excess of $500 (Texas Law).Owners tend to reason that they will keep the security deposit to offset losses but a tenant can cause thousands of dollars in damage in minutes.Let the tenant know that you have filed to evict them and give them a copy of the eviction papers.

I want to go in 'guns blazing' and even if I fail, I can accept the loss, because even if I lose I will learn (so it's not even really a loss).
