@Account Closed I like NOLO Press they have very good books on law tenant landlord issues and for entities like LLCs. Reading about the law is a big help. It is your obligation to know the law if you are in business.

Obviously a lawyer is a good resource. If you don't have the money for a lawyer, you might reasonably ask do you have enough cash reserves to be in the business. That may sound harsh but it is a reality.

Next search state or county laws. Just google you state and county for landlord tenant laws. 

Even if you use a lawyer a basic knowledge will help you work better with your attorney and probably save some money.  Good Luck.
