In a dispute it will be assumed you have a superior knowledge over a non agent and it could be more easily construed that you took advantage of someone.

Especially if the guarantor is very strong, has CF, liquidity, NW, etc..With strong enough guarantor(s), you may be able to get a non-recourse loan for another 25-50bp.

We're getting close to October, and I can't find a decent non-smoker match who doesn't have a massive dog, an eviction, or a record.

There are a whole lot of folks out there that get "stuck" with these properties, and don't know what else to do.I try to be as subtle and non offensive as possible.

It is likely the last time I use it.I like that in the application phase a prospective tenant doesn't have to give me all their highly sensitive data (social security number mainly), I can just get the non-sensitive other information on an application.

From my own experiences, the people moving in Jan HAVE to move; there are good reasons for having to move (need more space because expecting a child, or job relocation, or current home has some issue that requires serious repairs - think mold or fire) and not so good reasons for having to move (foreclosure, eviction, non-payment of utilities leading to no heat, loss of job).

The most likely wrong thing is that there are too many rentals and the project is now non-warrantable.

It points directly to conflicts of interest and non-aligned incentives that owners and PM's always potentially have (particularly those PMs running in-house maintenance operations from which they extract profit directly tied to the amount of usage).You did qualify that by saying they're doing the same with their own units, and I can relate to the idea of trying to push your building into a higher rental tier, which will likely involve removing your lower-tier tenants who likely wouldn't qualify at the higher tier.

Arguments about entitlements are non-starters in an economy like this.

If you accepted a verbal move out notice from them - you need to document these things or you may find yourself in these types of embarrassing situations.
