Tenants have proper licensing from the state. It is a federal crime, though not a high priority. We want to hire an attorney practicing law in Nevada - where our mom now lives-rather than Calif. where the house is located. We feel there are too many personal and professional relationships i.e. friends/associates within the professional/business areas of this relatively small community. We feel the clock is ticking in terms of legalities and property/personal liability insurances now that Mom has knowledge of this situation.
Keep mom out of it. Mom should hire a property manager to handle this for her. She doesn't need to be in a middle of this kind of problem.
She should say nothing to her insurance company.
Here's an idea, have Mom say she is putting the house on the market For Sale starting the first of November. No tenant, who is growing what could be an illegal substance, would want people walking through the house nosing around.
