- 3Am I liable for property damage caused by a sublease tenant?Primary leaseholders remain legally responsible to the landlord for any property damage caused by a sublease tenant, even after giving notice to vacate. This ongoing liability leaves tenants vulnerable to unexpected repair costs, withheld security deposits, and further destruction by uncooperative occupants who refuse to leave.
- 3How to document snow removal to protect against slip and fall lawsuitsProperty managers must manually log every instance of shoveling, salting, and brining to protect against liability when tenants try to sue over ice and snow injuries. Having these precise written records and pavement photos proves crucial during legal depositions and can lead to dropped lawsuits, even though tracking every single snowfall feels tedious.
- 2Am I responsible for fixing plumbing work I didn't do?Homeowners are often held accountable for plumbing repairs like broken drain pipes or unverified water heater installations even when they did not break or disconnect them. Without an invoice or proof of who did the work, customers feel uncomfortable fixing unfamiliar property lines or pipes, leaving them stuck with unexpected repair responsibilities.
