    If I had all my properties under one trust. And one of the tenants falls and hurts themselves and I am found negligent. Will all those properties then be deemed at risk as they are all in the same trust??.
    Does this mean one trust per house so the most you can lose is one IP??.

    Yes, they could be at risk. Having one house per trust would be a good idea, but it would greatly increase costs etc. I suppose it depends on how expensive your houses are.
