Also, I'm a legal gun owner and I'm mentally prepared for a possibly attempted confiscation of all firearms from the citizenry.

Since then, I've thought about trying to get three or four large rooms repainted quickly so I can re-rent, and I suspect even a $2900 deposit would quickly exhausted (and that's assuming that there weren't other damages that it was needed for).Maybe, if they really insist, I can require an additional month's deposit... if nothing else, that should get them to drop the subject!

In urban areas, HUD-VASH also has a specially assigned medical team that also works with veterans in the program, to make sure they are able to get timely access to any medical or mental health care needed.

It was completely exhausting.

Understanding tenant mentality is key.

If you look at the gentrification patterns over the last 20+ years, all other options have been exhausted.

Then I do a quick mental calculation of the rents for the area and what I can see with about the improvements. 

I hope you bury these frustrations and change your mentality soon.  

However, it is MUCH cheaper to exhaust your energy efficiency upgrades and THEN size the system to what your building/house/family needs once those are done. 

I might make a mental note of it for myself, but wouldn't take that evidence to court.
