I have had people walk into my open house and ask me if my mom was the listing agent, but there is no better feeling than putting that to rest by displaying a clear and concise understanding of the subject matter.

I'd check with the current landlord to see if there are behavior /rule following issues. 

I started off with Vrbo and Airbnb seems clunky to me.For example it is simple to set your minimum days on Vrbo and this is even displayed on the calendar.

Have a lawyer send a letter that if the behavior does not stop, you will be issuing a notice to quit.

@Eric P.We let our guests know that we accept direct bookings in several ways: post-stay text and email follow-up, post cards and business cards displayed in all our properties, giving each property a unique name and promoting it on social media and elsewhere so guests can do a quick Google search on our property name and we appear everywhere.Increasingly, we are seeing even some first-time guests seeing our property name on the big listing sites, then finding us with a Google search and booking directly on their first stay.

Over the course of the ensuing six months, I work through the very challenging short sale process,  massive amounts of paperwork and the engagement of attorneys, banks, negotiators, etc...During this entire time, this incredibly dishonest and deceitful buyer is limping along through the process, making counteroffers at the very last moment, ghosting for long periods of time and generally displaying a total lack of understanding any part of the transaction. 

Don't reward their bad behavior by paying them!

I’ve gotten pretty good at predicting behavior, so it’s easier to select good tenants.

., "pay" for your conscience - self manage, or find a property management company that wants to manage the unit based on your idea of ethical behavior rather than market behavior. 

Each unit shall display address in compliance with the current California Residential Code as adopted and amended by the City.11.
