So a tenant is suing us...
Good Afternoon. I am not sure if anyone has experienced a tenant lawsuit but supposedly a tenant fell at one of our properties and hurt their ankle. We are located in the Florida, the property is in an LLC and we have coverage on the property plus a personal umbrella.
Any words of wisdom from someone who has experienced this before? This is new and I am not sure what to expect or next steps or the costs. This is after discovering another tenant moved out and left dog poop all over one the bedrooms. There are days that a mutual fund sounds like a better choice.
We reached out to our attorney and notified the insurance broker. Sigh

You did right. Insurance should handle it from here-they will give you an attorney to represent you so continue living and enjoying life. It is a part of doing business and dealing with the public. I also make my tenants get renters insurance that may also take effect-you should get a copy of the policy each year and the LLC be an additional insured.
