And of course there would be no pattern of such, say like doing it multiple times...... 

Quote from @Ryan Marble: I live in a small town in eastern Arizona, about 7000 people, and we have a pretty serious shortage of rental properties.

We've noticed you've experienced a consistent pattern of dissatisfaction with your stay.

Patterns of bad behavior will always come back to bite you, whether it is yours or just the actions of the bad professional.A bit of a departure - but great post on this @Michael Plaks, this is one that is confused all the time.

Then you could get a rug with a simple trellis pattern in one of those colors.  

However, fact patterns are frequently similar and and become easier to resolve (or run away from).The property is subject to competing spousal claims.

I think you see the pattern.

Micro-local patterns?

But you can attenuate that pattern of behavior in your rentals with good vetting.To further your point Jim this is where I see newbie landlords who have absolutely no clue how most tenants at least those that can only afford 600 to 800 dollar rents live their lives and how they think.landlord wants to charge for any little thing that gets busted by the kids.. tenants have no money  .. so then they start to get upset and look for a new place.. maybe break the lease all together.. 

What the behavioral patterns are of the ones that are successful?
