Possible Slip and Fall Claim
We've had a brutal winter in Chicago this year! Lots of snow and ice.
So a tenant in one of our building's rents an illegal basement apartment. We bought the building in Oct and inherited the tenant - I didn't want to kick them out in winter. His rent is dirt cheap and he has no lease in place.
A week after receiving notice that he will be asked to leave come 03/31, and he claims a slip an fall - he can't move because he's hurt. There is a wife a child, so I empathize.
My attorney says that insurance will handle this. But I'm thinking just to offer the guy some cash to move.
Thoughts? Similar experiences?
Many Thanks
