Hi, good day!  Have you hear of any horror stories where tenant suing the landlord for everything he have? And win. Have you ever got sue by a tenant before? Why you got sue and how much did you lose? Base on your experience, what’s the percentage that a tenant sue me for everything I have and win? (Like my car, personal residence, my rental property’s)

I've never personally known a Landlord that was sued at all. I certainly don't know any that have lost everything.

Does it happen? Absolutely. But so do fires and I don't give much though to those, either.

The best protection from a lawsuit is to follow the law while treating everyone honestly and fairly.
