Can learn a lot from your tactics. 

Tenants will take as much as you give them, and I agree this is a stall tactic.

All these people that are basically brokering real estate without a license will find out quickly that this tactic is not generally a source of steady funds.

Maybe I'm old school and wrong for today's advanced flipping tactics?  

I agree with what Mark had mentioned and actually just used this tactic last month!

My agent was awesome kicking their behinds to the curb and not taking any BS stall tactics, so I was actually feeling more sorry for him than for me.

A judge woiuld laugh you out of court if you tried to evict them because you don't like the way their food smells when it is cooking.Since the complaint didn't come until you raised the rent, I suspect that the cooking odor isn't the problem; it's the new rent amount and what you have here is a negotiating tactic to get you to greatly reduce the amount of the raise.

Try other negotiating tactics besides price.

Sincerely, William This tactic is interesting to me. 

The DF does represent a substantial credit risk as it can be used to garnish wages or attach to bank accounts among other collection tactics.
