Just gotta say this after this shitty week at work: it depends on perception. I get accused of "abusing my power" sometimes because I'm a landlord and won't waive late fees, or I charge tenants for repairs they caused (e.g. their kid broke a window), or I tell them if they don't start paying their rent on time consistently I will ask them to move. On the last one I get told I am not allowed to "abuse my position" and tell them how to manage their money.

I'm probably just sensitive after a few tenants have been less than delightful this month (probably due to taxes being due?) and accusing me of "not understanding" and me enforcing the rental contract. Or accusing me of being responsible for the rising rental costs in this area and that "I shouldn't charge so much" but tell that to owners who know there is a lack of housing right now and rents have flown up (I do try and encourage owners not to raise rents too high for tenants currently in place because I really hate doing that as a fellow human being who works a full time job and ALSO mturk to make ends meet.)
A contract is a contract :purpleheart::purpleheart::purpleheart::purpleheart:
I'm sure her water-bill doesn't say she agrees to be harassed and berated by a cheating bully when she goes in. :D

I understand that situation you are put in monthly, I got a little behind <no pun intended, on my HOA dues, so I went to ask for a few more days or maybe not charge the hefty late fee, they were unable to do that, so I said how about I dance for you in exchange for the late fee, they agreed so I went to my car and pulled out my pole and set it up at the clubhouse and did my crouching turtle hidden snake dance for them, at the end I actually made $3.77 in change. Butt it is always a good idea to try to barter, I wish it was like the olden days when bartering was very accepted
lol. I just shuddered/laughed at thinking of a few tenants who might offer this option to us. Thanks for the good laugh!!!!!

I am nice the first time it happens, or if it doesn't happen often. But if someone is late consistently or like 6 out of 12 months? Not much I can do.

No, first of all, it's not her job to berate the citizens, she needs to take the money, and shut the hell up. She used her position in the City Hall, and her position on a mattress to be pissy that someone called her ass out on her bullshit. No average person would have gotten away with that. SHE was the one being abusive, using her power to bully.
Fuck her. I hope she never works with people again, she IS an abusive bitch.
Its rarely ever a good thing to escalate a situation. I'm not suggesting she be allowed to get away with inappropriate comments.

It's always a good idea to stand up for yourself. :) It was only "escalated" b/c the bully didn't like being called out, and knew her position at home would back her up in punishing her victim for speaking out :)

There are multiple ways of speaking out. Calling the woman a whore usually isn't the right way :wink:

She continued it AFTER OP apologized, knowing that her whoring would allow her to do so... so it kinda was :wink:
That was after she was nicely-enough told to mind her business.
