If you are priced above their budget, they won't bother to look.Now, if your sq footage is below the norm for the area, then you should expect to charge less for rent; but the converse does not work!

I called him and left a voice mail.Then I sent an email expressing how disturbing it is to be possibly charged extra for their poor performance.

I figure that if there's a dispute over charges to the tenant's deposit later on, the certified letter as well as earlier emails on the subject would satisfy a judge that the tenant had delayed submitting the checklist long enough to undermine its validity.The tenant's delay then actually would seem to work to the advantage of the landlord.

Remove the emotions- use your logic.Create a system of resources for yourself that allows it to build upon itself.

Because I have multiple units, they all want to charge me $100/unit just to come out and give me an estimate.

both got reported to the DA.. no criminal charges were ever filed but it made it to the papers..

They resisted each step of the way and charge us for each "deposit card".

Regarding hourly charge, I do think 325 for paper work is bit expensive.

You have to consider electricians charge about $100 per hour, plumbers are close to that, and construction crews go about $65 PER MAN on the job.

A short while later my mother had to sit me down and explain "predatory lending" as I was apparently charging too steep of penalties to my brothers when they failed to repay their loans in a timely manner.My own son, though not yet three, participates appropriately in the real estate business ... his favourite activity is walking through potential properties and he often notices things we, "big people", miss {like the big hole in the floor under the kitchen counters ;) ... where apparently the kitty-cat lives}.At this point, I invest a portion in his name on all new properties, but as he gets older, the plan is to enable him to make those decisions himself.
