My lawyer said (off the top of his head, phone call) that such a clause would not in fact get me out of my statutory obligation to mitigate damages.  

For 2 reasons:  One is that I asked for too much rent (management company gave me no assistance on that) and 2ndly, we needed to fix up the house and there were disagreements with former tenants - you see,   I had college boys in it (big mistake - don't do it), and they did alot of damage to the house - which they paid for but that's time off the market - plus the management company was terrible to deal with in renting it. 

I would like (if possible ) to replace damaged tiles w/out disturbing the rest of the floor. 

Adjustors are in the process of assessing damages.

We just purchased a fourth,  this property had fire damage so most of the repairs will be done by us.

. (-30 degree temps here but I supplement with fire wood too) If your tenant bought the fuel and moved out in July now you gotta buy it back and sell it again to a new tenant who just paid a damage deposit moving cost and rent.

Strictly from the position of redusing landlord risks regarding non payment, damage etc.For example: offensive smelling foods.

Look for damage to the i-beam, running gear (axles), etc.

I have heard of some warranty companies for landlords and some that even insure tenant damages, but I find most landlords want it, they want it unreasonably cheap, any business, is trying to make money not lose money. 

If you're concerned that your home may have sustained damage during a major weather event and you'd like us to do a walk-around - just drop me a note.
