Hi all, Wondering if anyone has a similar experience and how you may have handled it. We sold our (primary) home recently. The buyers did a long inspection, multiple days... made a huge request for concessions based o...

How real is this threat? 

I give these threats no thought because 1) my actions are appropriate 2) i document well 3) they have yet to follow through with any of these lawsuits 4) typically their ignorance is apparent in what they are threatening to sue for. 

In my experience, most tenants will disappear when they receive the court summons because they have no defense.

Well, surprise, surprise the phony investment firm up and disappeared.

I wanted to use the camera footage as evidence in a civil case against the tenant.I was initially told that it would take 2 weeks to get the footage to me, then that blew out to several months, and now finally 6 months later they finally get back to me and tell me the footage doesn't exist, even though the initial report said cameras were activated.That footage would have shown that the tenant was making threats to damage my property (which she made good on).Do I have any recourse on the police for failing to provide the footage on a timely basis?

Perhaps due to the threat of lawsuits.

So far, nothing.The point is that I believe people spend a lot of money, time, and effort protecting themselves against a non-existent threat.

I've had qualified renters move into a rental, add their bum friends or family members, and then disappear, leaving me with bad renters who weren't approved and aren't on the lease.The best practice is to screen every adult, approve them, and add them to the lease. 

I imagine the argument would be, well if PadSplit disappears we need to base it off this less, more conservative number...
