I am uncertain as to why you have not already thrown their application in the garbage.

So I'm guessing that is unusual, since the next 5 people to see it did no follow up.

Therefore it's not unusual for property taxes to vary from county to county, or even from subdivision to subdivision within the county depending on the millage rate used in that area.

And, this is not unusual.  

And this is not a particularly unusual story.Sure, there are good managers out there, but if you look at what is "standard" in the industry, and what they consider "standard" to have in their contracts, I think it's just .... wrong.  

If so, having been in their shoes, it is not trivial to open a bank account until you get a SS#, etc which takes a few weeks or months after arriving.In some countries it is not unusual to pay at least a few months upfront. 

They then started receiving notice of (IMO) unusual feedback - that the security deposit would not be refunded in full because there was dust on top of the washer - stuff that just doesn't sound legit.  

If you are interested in doing any development, especially anything unusual like tiny houses or pocket neighborhoods that typically require re-zoning or special use permits, neighbors can get very alarmed and protest those changes to the zoning board.

Is this unusual wording?

This is quite unusual in that, if I wanted to check on my property I text my tenant and get a response back within a day confirming when I might be able to do it!
