Avoiding Tenant Accusation of Theft When Inspecting Property

[Mike Loughry]

I am preparing to enter the home of a hostile tenant to show a contractor a bathroom where the roof needs to be repaired. I am concerned that she will later accuse me of stealing property while I am there. Any suggestions on how to avoid this possibility?

Hostile tenants don't get better. I'd be asking myself: what is left on her lease? Do I have to get this repair done with the tenant still there? If you have to enter and repair could you do a video in and a video out?
