@Adrian Chu  We have to be very aware of the cultural climate we live in - know the rules, abide by them, and proactively lobby for -and make the case for common sense laws and against restrictive rules that ultimately make it more difficult and expensive for the very ones who need the most help. 

Nonsense, you sound like you are just lobbying for the ABA and trIal lawyers assocIatIon .

Send each a letter.I'm tempted to lobby the California Judicial Counsel to change form numbers just so Pedroza will have to stop worrying about forms so much.

Rather, out of a feeling of responsibility to my former tenants, who I happily provided positive references for.The reality is that it does a landlord no good, and could do harm, to respond to a reference request.I have also gotten calls from landlords lobbying for a statutory and regulatory change.  

If it's about impossible, then I'd make it a big enough increase to make it worth it to you, but cheaper for them having to deal with a 12 month lease.Then, offer it at a premium for a summer rental.Oh, and hopefully they aren't theater majors LOL.  

I lived in Brentwood and was active in a community theater in Franklin.  

Also you should be getting real involved with the lobbying efforts of any landlord associations you can join up with in the state.

If everyone else gets their $30 back then meh.Keeping the fees from those that fully qualify is akin to going to a movie theater paying to watch a movie and having them roll credits and walk you out, say "thank you" for coming and keeping the ticket price.

She'll lobby for a landlord-specific tax to pay for it.  

Win-win.At any rate, if you have law students or med students or other grad students (preferably not theater or music majors - they're flaky party animals), see if there is an off-campus housing listing for their grad students, or go talk to them about how to advertise to their grad students.You have to be careful how you word advertising on Craigslist or anywhere, though.
