The price assumes that you can eat all you want, but there're still some expectations of being reasonable and not abusing it.

Of course, some folks have abused that provision in the law.

Does the tenant expect crown molding and plush carpet for a high rent rate area or do you need to put in carpet that stands up to use and abuse??

Upfront fees relative to the project and depending on the project are not abuse in my opinion.

We retain late fees when residents pay late not only because of additional work required (which may include verbal abuse from the resident for charging them the fee), but because it rarely has an impact on our client.If a resident pays late, we require the resident to pay with certified funds.

FHA has caught on to this trend & updated the guidelines to prevent people from abusing FHA financing.Here are the guidelines directly from the FHA Handbook:Policy Exceptions Eligibility RequirementsRelocation: A Borrower may be eligible to obtain another FHA insured Mortgage without being required to sell an existing Property covered by an FHA-insured Mortgage if the Borrower is: • relocating or has relocated for an employment related reason; and • establishing or has established a new Principal Residence in an area more than 100 miles from the Borrower’s current Principal Residence.

In other words, you can file your eviction to get rid of the tenant, but you can't "abuse them" on their way out (very paraphrased).  

As with anything you can find examples of PMs who abuse this, however, if its not blatant and excessive try your best to relax because I promise if you keep pressing that button you will be looking for a new Property Manager. 

If the professional chooses to abuse this trust...is that not fraud?

It would be another government program that will be abused .
