It's a moral gray area, in my opinion, but when I say mortgage interest is front-loaded I just don't know how else to describe it.

I seriously doubt your morality police are any worse that the regime I operate under.

we get that all the time. they think that you "will like them so much" and would just lower it to get "good moral character" tenant in there.

Well, I think the real moral to this thread is to screen for better tenants ;-)

I called, emailed, texted, However....I didn't go down to her office because I didn't want to put her "Livlihood in danger....I was raised with excellent morals and values.  

But my morals will not allow me to accept more than a one year lease, I advise the tenant and the landlord to consider future renewals and if I manage the rental I will charge a $100 renewal fee but I, in good conscious, cannot write a multi-year lease and charge 6% of the gross lease but... that is the way my Arizona RE Board approved Listing Agreement States it.You should have studied your listing agreement closer and maybe asked some other agents what is customary in your market.

There you go using moral and law in the same sentence. 

There are no principles on the agenda, no morals to worry about, and it has nothing to do with fear of confrontation.

The inherent conflict in the thread seems clear...Some argue that a landlord has a duty (legal and moral) to enforce the public nuisance laws the moment the landlord accepts a rent check. 

Maybe the moral of the story is, hire a property manager next time.
