See I was right… 8bit, you are a good guy.

January 28, 2010 at 6:35 PM #506741CA renterParticipant[quote=8bitnintendo]Yeah, I agree with you – in this world, nobody is truly unbiased. I have been in situations similar to the tenant’s, and it really sucked.
I definitely had a knee-jerk reaction (deliberately inducing information asymmetry is kind of a hotbutton of mine; I prefer to be as open as possible even when I would derive advantage from not doing so.) That combined with my identification with the tenant, and ascribing to them my many positive attributes (poking fun at myself there!) drove me to inform them.
Will I do it again if I see a similar situation in the future? Maybe, maybe not. It would probably depend on how much I could find out about the situation. If I were inclined to, I think I would call the real estate agent first and ask about the listing. If they had a reason that I believed and considered ethical, I would forget about it. It probably makes me a hopeless busybody, but I still emotionally feel like I have a duty to act when I see something I think is wrong.[/quote]
Totally agree with you, and your remark about information asymmetry is spot-on.
Whether in personal or professional situations, I think everybody needs to be fully informed about all the details so that they can make the best decisions for all concerned.
What this LL did is totally unethical, even if it’s not illegal. And yes, I think a tenant has an obligation (moral, not legal) to inform the LL as soon as the tenant knows he/she is going to move.

January 28, 2010 at 8:13 PM #506788CDMA ENGParticipantSo I read the postal law and it seems to apply to situations were ppl were trying to circumnavigate the revenue process.
Seems to me you could have just stuck a stamp on it and been fine.
I still say you need a vigiliante suit.
Then you could goomba stomp your enemies too!
