Be respectful of their time.

Looking for an attorney that can help us in this respect.

Providing value and treating others with respect is a great way to develop and foster these relationships!

I find that creating and sustaining a respectful, honourable and extremely professional relationship between the two sides in a transaction is probably the biggest determining factor in getting my clients the very best deal that could be achieved in the circumstances.I am truly sorry you're in this spot, hope this clarifies things a little for you.

I will just summarize it as a learning and enlightening experience.I suspect you need to start by obtaining a Power of Attorney to give you legal authority to make decisions with respect to this property. 

His response may sting but it he will respect you for it and it will help you moving forward.

It assures me that they aren’t over-extending themselves into a living situation they can’t afford and it’s brought me even more peace of mind than the 1st&last’s security deposit ever had while making me happy to invest my time & money assisting the family w/ tailoring the unit to their needs (mounting tv’s, making minor repairs to squeaky floors, sticky cabinets, childproofing, etc) so they don’t attempt to try their hand at amateurly repairing things themselves which always makes things worseThe increased fee has made me rationalize the time/cost investment of time while also strengthening the  relationship & respect (both ways) than I’ve had with the average tenant. 

We truly could have saved ourselves a lot of trouble if we knew that sooner, but we were trying to be respectful and sensitive, gain trust, etc. 

Do they treat your question with respect?

That's not what I'm after.I need someone who won't recommend replacement on every unit over 7 years old, that will actually show up when they say, will check filters, and respect an NTE.
