I do find it humorous though that thinks the recent bought of high inflation was caused by the current administration. 

Knowing how fast or slow things are turning would not cause me to change how I manage my business.I'm more concerned about current market rents  All else equal, I know that by lowering my rents $50 or $100, I can lease up my units almost instantly. 

I do have folks that don't book because of that.That is a good thing as not understanding the distance to get places will create bad blood and cause those 2 and 3 star reviews which no one wants to see.Like @John Underwood, our place isn't cheap so we don't get the folks that destroy places.The bottom line is that you are renting out an expensive asset to strangers for 3-10 days or whatever.

HE JUST CONSOLIDATED THEM ALL ALONG WITH HIS PDF CONTRACTS (WHICH ARE ALSO ALL OVER THE INTERNET) INTO ONE CENTRALIZED AREA... 5) He ADDED MORE OF THE SMALL NUGGET VIDEOS TAKING A SIMPLE PROCESS AND BREAKING IT DOWN LITTLE BY LITTLE (NOT SO MUCH FOR UNDERSTANDING PURPOSES) BUT MORE TO MAKE PROGRAM MORE ROBUST AND EVENTFUL 6) AND USED SIMPLE JSON CODING AND SQL (LIKE ZAPIER AND GLOBIFLOW) which can be done by using WordPress quite easily and created a lease option customer data entry base (CALLING IT THE LEASE OPTION THIS AND THE LEASE OPTION THAT DATABASE) It's basically the large packaged smoke and mirrors with a little touch of value and abundance simultaneously being thrown at you that will cause you to do one of two things (which is kind of the goal)  1) You get overwhelmed instead of focused and quit, or 2) you ignore all of his "upsells" and focus on the material you have and use what he gives you to the utmost extent...

While I haven't personally experienced any negative impacts from this fraudulent listing, I'm concerned that it could mislead potential renters and cause them financial distress.

Once renewal period comes up (if they've been paying on time and causing no trouble) you can decide if you want to keep them or move on. 

Once I gave them the online option, however, and the bank didn't deliver one tenant's check causing a late fee, they've all used the online option.

What happens if a tenant causes significant damage?

I'm not sure why this caused such a reaction, but I can say the language above is completely unnecessary and out of order on this forum.
