One thing to consider, if he can report the issue to health and human services, he can pay rent into an escrow account and the landlord won't get it until she fixes the issues.

(I'm kind of a science and human nutrition fanatic) Recently, I changed my major to Business... lol IDK what I'm doin with that. and I'm sure there is no "Real Estate Investor" as a major lmao.

Ziv, I expected you to go off on some liberal human rights rant because I hire mexicans for a reasonable wage.

I'm not so much interested in 'investing' books per say, but business in general is interesting to me as well as a suggestion that was made to me via pm about human behavior books, I thought that was really cool.

I guess the "human capital" component could be tied to any profession.

It isn’t worth spending my whole life trying to fix human behavior.

It's another thing to take complete avantage of someone simply because they are poor, ignorant and have no better options I'm not sure how some folks were raised and I am by far a god fearing person, but some things you simply do NOT do to a fellow human being and I believe the rent a centers of this world are the scum of the earth and I put those owners right up there with drug dealers.

@Ned CareyIt is situations like this which lead me to seriously doubt whether we humans do have the "biggest brain" on the planet.

They would inspect the area to be vacuumed and then turn it on while the human cleaners were working on the kitchen or bathroom.  

Property management is mostly hard work, with unpredictable problems and behaviors as you're dealing with human beings (tenants).
