I'm looking for some guidance on how to proceed with a few issues I am having with a tenant.  I am in the process of listing my 3 unit building for sale.  I had notified all tenants that we would be taking pictures of...

I have never worked with a fire damages so I have no idea where to start.

They can possibly get water back up on their own policy as well, but this would just be for the personal property rather than fixing damage to the home.Personal Property coverage is normally 70% of dwelling if you feel like this is overkill, potentially you can ask for an override to lower the coverage.

If you rent out a 1-bedroom apartment to a student there's a single point of contact, one person's security deposit if there's damage, one person to evict if things go really wrong, etc.  

There is a risk with a tank but if you get it at the right price you can make up for most damage caused by  the leaking.  

In that time, determine if the tenant caused any damage to the property or if you lost rent because of his breach.  

Would they be responsible for the damages?

tileyou can put it in and it lasts and lastsnever worry about stains, water damage, or some vinyl crap that is not quality- under 5 a foot-they are renting space- if they want floor coverings then let them buy throw rugs- if your worried on getting it rented with no floor coverings then go stage it with some throw rugs, let the tenant know that your rugs are your rugsenjoy

She gets her money when you have completed your inspection, assuming no damage, and she hands over the keys.

A lot of damage can take place in only 3 months from a leaking water line or drain.
