Paul has been hearing more and more of his friends talk about the need for a Sacramento ballot initiative aimed at blocking excessive greed from unraveling the fabric of their community."

I believe you have to get to know people in your area(make friends, meet real estate agents, or even construction workers can help you out with areas that are getting more and more fabricated).

I have been a metal fabricator for 10 years. 

When I was a teenager, there was someone who was fired from the fabric store I worked in for behaving exactly like this. 

And, some tenants will fabricate problems in order to get out of their lease.  

I wouldn't go with laminate.. just a little too delicate imo.

If they don't have cause, they'll fabricate it if you look like you have some monetary value they can go after.

They could just buy a letter online for $20 or they could fabricate a letter.

Also, if there are curtains or other fabrics, they will need to be addressed by cleaning too.For your kitchen, you probably got lucky on the flooring material not being carpet if that is where the urine is. 

At the same time, I want to be delicate as possible.
