Q: What document can I complete to protect myself from a tenant who’s doesn’t want to move because I have to repair floors?
The tiles have been popping up due to some actions I believe the assoc took by running some piping under the building to fix a plumbing issue in the building. This is my speculation and I think I’m correct because I don’t have a leak and tiles don’t just pop up like that but i can’t prove it. I now need to replace the flooring in the entire unit so I need the tenants to vacate. They do not want to move because they have 6 months left and rents are going to be higher at a new place. Im concerned because it’s a safety issue and they just had a baby. We offered to return the deposit, found them two new apt options in the same community, and they still don’t want to move so I can replace the floor. What document can I complete so that in the event something happens, I can show I tried to remedy the problem and they refused it? God willing this won’t be necessary but I want to be covered just in case.
A: It sounds you are looking for a custom-tailored waiver of liability/liability waiver. It is advisable for you to hire an attorney to draft one for you, and to analyze the whole issue.
