If you believe the matter might be covered by your title insurance, submit a claim to the insurer and allow them time to make a coverage decision and take actions before entering into any agreements that might affect the insurer's ability to defend your title.

So, when trying to split utility bills, that they agreed to in their leases, we've had Class C tenants not pay claiming other unit(s):1) Are using more of the utility then they are2) Have more people3) Are having family & friends over to wash their clothes4) Wash their car5) Etc...When we've taken nonpaying tenants to court and included nonpaid split utilities in their past due balance, some judges have thrown out the utilities.We still split utilities on multi-unit leases, but warn owners it may not be able to get tenants to pay.Best bet is to separate when possible.

Just regular maintenance.

Some have ligit claims and get nothing.
