@Che Chiu WongThat sounds like a plan I was thinking of giving a rent credit after each room completed and I have inspected which would be more quantifiable.  

If it was just rent, which is easily quantifiable, it would be a different thing, in my opinion, because you can easily show that amount of rent was owed to you, and they didn't pay it. 

That's not the case for you.Your out-of-pocket costs for a tenant not paying their rent on time would be quantifiable. 

If you chose not to, then don't make it someone else's responsibility to teach you these things or explain them in a way that suits your needs.We all understand Time Value of Money and can use it to talk about this question and quantify basic assumptions about opportunity cost, interest rate risk, compounded annual growth rate, etc.

So there's value added there too, but difficult to quantify.  

I can’t even begin to quantify that population located outside of the Bay Area who think this market will crash badly and that’s when the sun will rise they will convert from spectators to investors.

If I try to quantify the cost of the damage how can I go about doing that?

The employment check turned up that they had interviewed for the position but hadn't gotten it.When we have multiple qualified tenants, we give priority based on:- Credit score- Tenant who is ready to move within 15 days- First tenant to provide security deposit in fullHaving clear quantifiable criteria helps protect us from claims of discrimination.

This is a strange, albeit valuable way to quantify these expenses.

So how does one go about quantifying damages in a meaningful way when what those damages are, and if they are even valid in the first place, is subjective?
