Just carefully read the above story.Your desire for your first rental to be a huge success is understandable, but it is also just a psychological desire that doesn't correspond well to your overall success.Buy right, work hard, persist in the face of adversity.

@James Syed - Generally yes, you want to copy the SEC 8 caseworker on all correspondence with the tenant concerning the lease.  

When municipalities use tactics to extract money from you that you have abandoned any hope of receiving corresponding benefits, you need to change your own tactics to protect your own interests.

On the flip side, I've been reading a lot of articles about veterinary technology advances and how many things can be done these days, but they come with a corresponding price tag.

They're dogging my calls and will not return emails/ or any correspondence related to this transaction.  

We need to identify a property manager who can manage the end-to-end short term rental experience (corresponding with guests on Airbnb, checking them in to the unit, handling maintenance issues during the stay, check out, maid service turnover, etc).

If you were to send me an email/letter stating specific cases and citing specific legal documents I would simply forward them to my lawyer and ask that all correspondence about the issue be communicated with him going forward.
