Mike Where I have rentals deposits are controlled by local laws.  

I looked at the actual law and it does say that the landlord is responsible for appliances, but she hasn't filed a complaint and she didn't tell me she wasn't going to pay until after I served the notice to quit.So my questions are, have you dealt with situations similar to this and do you think her reason for not paying will hold up in court? 

In this case, nothing will protect you.One caveat would be to understand the lending laws in your state.

Check your state/local laws on this.

I do it all the time.There are laws surrounding what you can and can't say.You're not supposed to say you're going to help them, you can stop the foreclosure and a few other things.If you're planning to offer them cash plus pay off the final judgement order then that's absolutely fine.

I've lived in Queens, the island and now in Cincy - the landlord tenant laws are VERY different. 

Work comp protects the employer from statutory liability (meaning liability that is written into law), as in you must pay for all worker's injury etc.The above poster is correct, they must be able to prove negligence on your part.  

My sister in law just did her kitchen in new reto appliances in turquoise.

The hedge fund BLT who bought 1200 homes in Memphis I think over bought and they have been selling some of their homes.Locally I would recommend Kevin Hummel at McFerran Law who is an expert in 1031 exchange and they will do a free consultation.
