[QUOTE="GlockPride, post: 3617553, member: 12153"] No way would I seek an attorney for $2-3k in damages. For $20-30k, yes probably. But you have to think about collecting. Is there any $ that the renters have that you can get? Probably not. This will be Wildly unpopular, but I would NOT throw money at a house I didn’t/don’t have ownership in. If this is her house and you have no legal claims to benefits like rent $ or sale proceeds, then in no way would I be throwing in any more than I could stand to lose. I’ve been biting my tongue here on this for awhile but feel it should be said. If y’all are equal partners legally, still very risky but you’d at least have some legal protections under the law. But, you do you. If you put a ton of $ or sweat equity into and one person walks away, you could be out of luck and I’d hate to see that for you. Good luck to you. Remember, for rentals you want good value items, not cheap. I think “institutional” when I think renters. Basic, tough, will hold up. [/QUOTE]
