Has anyone seen a seller rescind stay bonuses for employees that accept offers from the purchaser to stay at the property after the sale?

(2.) The people in 251 unexpectedly moved out (top floor home). Tim comes in and asks to please transfer and even is ok with $500 transfer fee, just so he can not be bothered and live on the top floor. Transfer is approved to help him enjoy his living experience.
(3.) Sally and Mike become aware that complainer Tim has moved ABOVE THEM and now are saying Tim is retaliating by stomping and being over the top noisy. Sally and Mike are extremely upset with the office and want a resolution. Sally and Mike are told by the office that they will ask Tim to be mindful but that Tim had the right like anyone to transfer and could not deny him from transfer to a top floor. They do not want to meet Tim to talk and say they are in fear of him.

Can anyone explain why we keep having elements go out in our ranges at our community? Some ranges are only a year old. We do not have a standard model, as if it was a known issue with one brand/ model. Could residents be doing something to cause this?

Now, I was a leasing agent years ago, but I decided to be a stay at home mom for a couple years and recently got back into it.However, at my last job, the leasing agent would get the commission for leases...

Do I tell my new boss / employer? I've been at my new Jon less than 2 months.
After having some similar symptoms from when I had a stroke 5 years ago, I went to the ER. They did tests including a brain scan and have found I have a deteriorating brain vessel condition. I was fortunate to not have any real distinguishable signs from my stroke, so my employer doesn't know I've had a stroke. My boss knows I was at the ER as I left during work.

I was fortunate to not have any real distinguishable signs from my stroke, so my employer doesn't know I've had a stroke. My boss knows I was at the ER as I left during work.
I oversee a portfolio of properties. These symptoms do interfere somewhat with my work - memory, word-finding, multi-tasking, and they will not improve. I already use ways to "keep on track" with work tasks from my stroke, but now things are worse.
I'm thinking about asking if there is a different type of position I could still work in, but leery of divulging everything. The company is fairly new and structuring roles a little differently than my past typical property management experiences. If you've made it this far, thank you for the read, and any advice greatly appreciated.

This industry disgusts me now. There are a few factors that contribute to that disgust,but mainly it is the...

Can you share your pros and cons for allowing short-term rentals? Are there situations where it makes more sense than others? If we do decide to implement it, are there any strategies we can use to keep it under control? TIA!

Industry Friends,
My small business (located in North Florida) was awarded a weekend/overnight sub-contracted job. The job consists of moving fitness equipment from one building to another while the fitness center is being renovated. A few of the larger pieces will need to be partially disassembled and reassembled to allow them to fit through smaller doorways. That's it, that's the full scope of work.

A few of the larger pieces will need to be partially disassembled and reassembled to allow them to fit through smaller doorways. That's it, that's the full scope of work.
The vendor who is hiring me has some pretty steep insurance requirements which I don't mind bumping my coverage up for (It is what it is... "Spend money to make money". The issue I'm running into is with their Workers Compensation requirement(s). They're insisting that I have WC coverage even though I'm a Sole Proprietor. Yes, I know you can get an exemption for this but apparently as a Sole Proprietor, you don't qualify for the exemption. However, to request an exemption you need to be a corporation or an LLC. Since I don't qualify for the exemption, I've attempted to get WC coverage. Every insurance provider I've reached out to has said the same thing - "It's impossible to cover you because you don't have any employees."I have been operating under these parameters for many years and this is the first time I'm running into this issue. Any other time the Worker's Compensation (and sometimes Auto coverage) was brought up I was able to get it waived by the vendor's compliance team.
Even though I don't agree with vendors terms, I'm willing to concede and get the required coverages in order to secure the bid and complete the job.
Can someone please make this make sense and/or offer any guidance?
Keeping this post anonymous so that said vendor can't see my identity. If you're able to provide any kind of advice/guidance, I'd be happy to discuss offline.
Thank you in advance!
Sincerely,
An honest hardworking entrepreneur working to provide for their family.

Is Facebook marketplace dead when it comes to apartment listings? Our city is saturated with the same company - not sure if anyone else is using other social outlets besides Facebook marketplace?

I have a leasing agent that is ALWAYS late. Usually 15-20 mins. Other than that he’s pretty great. Over 100 leases in a year. Residents love his service and kind nature. He’s also the type who will stay as long as needed after office closing to do extra. He’s just not on time during most mornings. We’ve talked about it and it’s almost a joke at this point, but also very annoying and not funny. How would you handle?
But my take from it all, is take care of you and your family. Sometimes you just have to go with your gut, not promises of others. 😞
But if the bonuses were retention bonuses and people had been told they’d receive them if they stayed until the end, they should get them, regardless whether or not they are hired by the new owner.
