Do not threaten with a lawyer either, doing so will have everyone treat you as if you have already hired one.Look at the CC&Rs to see if there is anything that specifies window covering colors as well.  

I treat bad tenants the same way they treat me in a landlord fashion. 

They pay ahead of time, treat the property great and they plan to be around  a long time. 

In my experience privately owned business treat you much better than franchises, previously I have worked in the restaurant industry and that statement is highly true.

When you call and act like a prospective tenant, how do they treat you...do they try to get you over to the property THAT DAY and hook you?

i personally know the guy at the head of Angel Oak - i know they will treat you right with decision coming ouy of atlanta

 @Michael GansbergDuly noted.I'm treating it as, bed bug  - one strike policy.The condo manager says the building never had bb's before.

Find out who's buying consistently, what they're after, and treat them really well.

Much more likely to treat the home like it's their own, probably saving to buy a home someday.

All I will say is that I don't reveal that kind of info on a public forum, but REI has treated me very well.
