To be fair, Milt's assessment is 100% spot-on given that he's in southern CA. Having lived there myself, renters and rental properties are dime-a-dozen. There's absolutely nothing to be gained by being good/fair to tenants, even if they trash your reputation for being a scumbag it doesn't matter - most times there will be 10 people in line for the place next week anyway. Speaking from personal experience there is seemingly very little tangible business benefit to preserving one's reputation - it's a matter of personal ethics and integrity and decency more than anything else. Even the jackass LL's get people lining up most times. Nobody cares. At the end of the day getting the best price is what typically matters.
