I not only am going to switch management, but the lawyer further told me that their lease agreement had a non disclosure lawyer clause that states they are not lawyers and do not give legal advice which this manager has repeatedly and brazenly enjoyed giving.

Apparently Idaho is a "non-disclosure" state.

In my world, they're not.Would you @Russell Brazil simply thanked the guest for the disclosure, asked if they had any questions or any further service could be provided, and left it at that?

@Dan DiFilippo for the sake of the conversation, I can’t wrap my head around crypto being a de facto currency as an ever expanding population needs a money supply to expand somewhat with it, or the ensuing hikes to interest rates caused by more and more people chasing a finite resource would decimate the economy.I freely admit I haven’t researched this enough, but interested to hear thoughts.Full disclosure I don’t have any crypto whatsoever, and think if it becomes as widespread as bullish views want it to be, I could end up accepting rent in BC or sell a property or 2 and convert to BC.

A point of leverage is the seller is now aware of a material defect and must disclose it to future prospects on the seller's disclosure.

If you really don't value your agent's ability and think you can do it better, it's likely best that you 1) interview more to find one that you do trust, 2) go through the listing agent, directly, if you're that comfortable with handling your side on your own, or 3) maybe get your license so you can control your side of negotiations with the proper tools needed (MLS access with agent info, showings, contracts, tax records, uploaded listing docs like surveys, disclosures, broker assistance for questions, etc.).

@Gulliver Raza I paid an attorney a few thousand dollars to create an iron clad lease agreement a few years back, and then it became obsolete due to new disclosures being required etc.

Disclosure: my firm charges upfront fees. 

Full disclosure, not quite worth 1m yet.
