On the day that I turned in my two week notice, I was called down to assistant GM's office (2nd in command at my work).

I have now resorted to putting a "for rent" sign on all of my buildings in a neighborhood where I have a vacancy - even on the buildings that have no vacancy; this gets the phone to ring more, and I explain to the tenants there in advance that I am not trying to rent their place but another one I have that's vacant.I get some referrals from code enforcement officers - typically tenants who are fed up with their present Landlord and are asking about somebody who has properties in good repair and good condition.I also use a service that is called Locators.

A cut in the politicians pay by about 75% would weed out those who are in office for the money & those in office to represent the people.

He can also just go to the assessors office if he is in the area.
