Get over yourself and if you can't bring yourself to apologize, then at least STFU and slink back to whatever corner of the internet you came from.While I have no idea if the OP is exaggerating (I suspect not), I do know what I did and what I'm capable of and your whole attitude is sickening.

Thomas,   Love the attitude.  

I love your positive attitude and drive.

Again, my property managers insisted on drawing funds from rental proceeds.This disagreement went on for weeks.Our property managers did eventually contact our warranty company, but whatever was said caused our warranty claim to be denied which meant I was stuck with the bill.Out of pure exhaustion I gave up and allowed our property managers to deduct from rental proceeds who's attitude all of a sudden changed and stopped being argumentative.

In similar fashion, consider the impact of California’s Proposition 47 that in effect legalizes stealing up to $950:https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-prop-47-shoplifting-theft-crime-statewidehttps://www.laadda.com/lies-behind-selling-prop-47-57/https://www.latimes.com/local/crime/la-me-prop47-anniversary-20151106-story.htmlAnd yes, The Gray Lady herself will vehemently disagree:https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/21/us/california-incarceration-reduction-penalties.htmlWhat I find sanctimonious is the bold, unapologetic attitude of the Oakland City Council to pass a law that merely appears good, kind, and compassionate (so as to fool and maybe even humiliate the opposition into silence) but in practice erodes away at a vital foundations designed to keep their city safe and strong.

most of bay area realtor attitude is like this, they create a condition in such a way that you would emotionally overbidding. realtor in other region doesn't act like this. one of realtor tactic is to making improper listing with lower price with the hope they get auction/multiple offers.you really need an agent that really work for you and understand your concern.do note that 2 BR is usually hard to sell here, especially with 2/1 setup.I would guess this is 2/1 950 sqft setup ?

So politically it's an attitude of "tenant not paying rent, then they gotta go and open that housing unit back up to someone who will". 

The guy is working within the system you set up, so coming to this with the attitude of “you are being irresponsible” isn’t going to help.

As soon as lawyer and laws are threatened, my attitude will be very different than if the tenants are easy to deal with for dumb stuff like this.

Now we look for things like personal references, social media, attitude at the showing, what their car looks like at the showing, and other things that the old school housing providers used to look for.
