Condo's & Messy Kids?

I’m renting a condo to a lawyer and he has a three year old son. What can I do to protect myself if anything were to happen?

Answer:

Hi Jennifer, this is a pretty good question if I think what you asking is truly what you’re asking.

I thinking you’re worried if something were to happen to the kid then can you be held liable. It’s scary and that can happen… however make sure you have liability insurance incase something were to happen and the lawyer tried to sue.

On the flip side you might be worried that the young son will destroy your place. What I would recommend is having a solid lease and take pictures or a video of your place before they move it. That way you will all the proof you need so you can charge for any damage.

With before and after pictures, there is no way that this lawyer could come back at you and say he did now do the damage.

If you have not already, make sure you visit another lawyer and get a lease that is rock solid. A real estate lawyer would be best for this.
