As firm as possible while still reminding you it’s up for interpretation not as black and white as we’d like. 

I certainly never signed anyone exclusive rights to be my insurance broker unless the management company is taking a very liberal interpretation of general wording in the management contract.  

It's just us reading the facts differently, our interpretations are different.

I know there’s the way the laws are written and then how they are interpreted.

If clients want to see all my notes, lab tests, radiology reports..... no problem, Here you go.... start questioning my thought process, work up, interpretation of test results or overall approach to the case.... yeah.... you dont trust me, hit the road.

If you are willing to take the time to read the laws and hire a lawyer to help you interpret them, self-managing would be viable. 

Here is text taken from the HOUSABLE website for Oakland:Utility ConnectionsCategory One: No new or separate utility connection shall be required.Category Two: A new or separate utility connection may be required, but the connection fee or capacity charge shall be proportionate to the burden of ADU on the water or sewer system.Here are definitions of the ADU categories from the City of Oakland website:CATEGORY ONE ADU: Involves either conversion of space within an existing Single-Family Dwelling, or conversion or rebuild of an existing accessory structure; includes no expansion of the existing building envelope other than up to 150 sq. ft. for purposes of accommodating ADU access and egress only.CATEGORY TWO ADU: Involves construction of a new detached or attached structure, including an exterior addition to an existing structure to accommodate the ADU, in conjunction with a proposed or existing Single-Family dwelling.It seems that Oakland is making things confusing with the language they are using, but I still believe that my original interpretation is correct based on the State Assembly Bill. 

It is my view, based on the rationale of the 15 year exclusion and based on what senator Weinkowski indicated, that it is an interpretation that does not match the intent of the law makers.  

I wouldn't leave any interpretation to an Ai, these are your dollars you are spending after all!

And it can mean some huge adjustments in the case of those who interpreted incorrectly.You claim what is true and accurate, not what you think will avoid audit.
