@Judy P. 

Thanks Judy Raymond for your reply.

Hi Judy,Thanks for your feedback.

Trying to see Judge Judy soon?

At least you are getting  a good education right now on the subject matter, but I would suggest that you spend a lot of time learning your rights and responsibilities so that in the future, you can deal with tenants with a lot more knowledge and confidence - a tenant tried to quote some obscure ruling to me once and I recited the corrected language of the law because I knew it and she could not say anything after that because she was just trying to be a sofa lawyer - trying to quote some **** heard on Judge Judy or something. 

@Judy P. and @Jerome Harrod II thanks for the advice.

Hi Judy,I haven't used a prior residence as a rental, but all properties we have purchased as rentals are still titled in our names, so I wouldn't mess with it personally.Yes, you should tell your insurance company, and your premium may go up.  

@Kanishk Dayal I agree with @Judy P..
