It's not unusual for a company to want a new employee to buy into their "culture".  

It is not unusual for situations like that to result in  the management company having a strong financial incentive to "discover" violations, where no reasonable person would find there to be a violation.Also, since the word "muted" is not defined, and that playset is indeed "muted" in the sense that it is a dark purple and not a bright, outlandish color, they may be found to be wrong on the merits.Also important to note is that the swingset was in place, in open view, for 11 MONTHS without generating a complaint.  

It is not unusual for them to gladly offer a discount to have their cash sooner than they expected.

Nothing unusual in that (unfortunately) but she came to me in the hope that I can help her sell the property.My issue is that I'm not familiar with the property location (I'm working in Florida), and I'm looking for someone to JV with, in that area.

Hi Micah --  Mine is unusual and not necessary REI related. 

By the way, what is the problem there - when you buy some property you need to pay the rent for a land :))) sounds unusual for me :)))

That is unusual.

This particular property was just filled with unusual circumstances and was certainly not the one for me.

Nancy Australia is a completely different market to the USA, (which you may already know).The only reason a well presented house in Melbourne would stay vacant is rent is too high or management company leasing it is incompetent.It is very, very unusual to have more than 2 or 3 weeks vacancy a year ever in most parts of Australia or New Zealand.

Haha, pretty unusual to double the price and timeline but, you're off to a good start by having a house built for personal use.
