As I am of 100% Greek descent and not a native of this city, I made the mistake of questioning her belief system.

:@Tanner MarseyNot a big fan of the supposed Ancient Greek concept of "everything in moderation" or <<Παν μέτρον άριστον>>, which doesn't actually MEAN "everything in moderation."

When you finally get to the point of the non-renewal, hopefully you will have all your ducks in a row - violations are ancient history, rent is up to date, notifications of non-renewal were appropriately made.As a last point, I think you made a mistake by informing the tenant you were not going to renew after the first month.

@Joe Splitrock for the encouragement and for being so darn reasonable all the time@Mindy Jensen for expert local insight, knowledge, and mediation skills @Bill F. for getting me out of my echo-chamber and teaching me how to "win every argument"@Jim K.for somehow managing to mix things like Greek mythology and McRibs into otherwise boring real estate talk.

Of all European cultures, the Greeks seem to have the most pronounced tendency for this, which is why I think I've spent so much of my life battling that feeling in myself. 

Could be graffiti, gang signs, boarded up houses, loose dogs, undesirable neighbors (for example if people are out on their porches and look less than appealing or are outside screaming and fighting), lots of trash all over, a bunch of ancient vehicles, a nearby business or something that omits a bad odor, etc.

I see that with the "similar posts you may like" bar....some of them are ancient by most standards- so may or may not help, but there is zero reason to comment on them at that stage. 

So this would save a lot of money, if I owned the machines and helical piles, plus some side business installing for others.Then another way to save on materials is the ancient method of pole building.

Greek?

I guess it doesn’t help that I live in a very remote area with ancient, crappy homes.
