I currently have a vacancy in the building and I've had a few people witness screaming matches in the middle of the street between one of the "ladies" and her adult guest while I was showing them the property.  

It is interesting.One of the best places I've lived for landlord's rights was Indiana, I lived in Bloomington, which is a big college town, so obviously, the management companies had to deal with some pretty horrendous situations (which I got to witness firsthand while looking for a place to live!)

They become this fiend, this villain that could destroy you and is probably the hardest phase of all the phases.It is during the MOVING PHASE, that you must be cool, have all your wits about you and be prepared, yet still be cordial so as not to enraged the monster that seems to be lurking in your Tenant during the MOVING PHASE (as there is NO ANTIDOTE to calm the savage beast once it takes form).

This situation also demonstrates how all parties were forced to abandon their productive efforts (seeking new business ) as they were forced to devote their time into the non-productive time spending in defending their position from the accusations of the aggrieved owner of a defective property.....  

Again I have no clue as to your capabilities.. but that is what I have witness in my time here in Oregon and as a RE broker and one who has owned a few brokerages.

The window thing is going to take a witness. 

And I've noticed that there are some signs that signal you that an applicant might not be the best candidate, before even checking them out further.Now, you need to check out tenants' backgrounds, because you don't want to be accused of discrimination, but I tend to notice that when I see these signs, I find something about the tenant that disqualifies them as they don't meet my rental criteria.Examples:- Looks around the place for 5 seconds then immediately wants to apply. 

If you evict a tenant for a reason that has nothing to do with a protected class, you shouldn't have a problem with wild accusations thrown against you.

I downloaded a whole bunch of forms and this one "Addendum to Option to Purchase Agreement" calls for a "witness" to sign.
