Jennifer attempting to use logic and reason with someone that is clearly mentally unbalanced is a futile waste of time.

Many experts in the sector seem to echo similar concerns.Sometimes you can be too attached, affiliated with or involved with something that you either knowingly (or unknowingly) form certain mental biases somewhere in the subconscious.

This would be both a mental focus project and an investment project.

Champagne dreams and beer mentality

It takes a different mentality and a different skill set than being a LANDLORD or REAL ESTATE INVESTOR or REALTOR.6.

But I agree this mentality is prevalent.

A month's lost rent is nothing compared to the mental stess and loss of sleep for every little thing that some jerks throw you at.

Having the annual rent increase included in the lease prepares the tenant mentally, too, and quite a few tenants won't move out over a $25 monthly increase.

Glad I read the whole thread first :)Your first line of defense when getting these requests is simple: if the nature of the disability or need for the animal is not obvious (i.e. a "seeing eye dog" for a blind tenant), you are legally permitted to require the applicant provide official documentation of the need for the animal, and the type of animal, from a physician, psychiatrist, social worker, or mental health professional.
