Yes.
But I'll be babysitting today instead.
Yesterday afternoon's phone call has opened a world of hurt directed at the RA by the mean man over the Rent Increase hearing. He feels that unless he holds all the proxies, it is not a unified front in the negotiation to reduce the rent increase. The formal negotiation failed in July and Thursday is supposed to be a formal hearing where the tenants identify the expenses claimed by the landlord that are ineligible for recovery of costs through a rent increase. My guess is that the mean man hasn't done that work (the lawyer we consulted said it was foolish to go for a ruling because the landlord is careful and the expenses will be legit so negotiation was the only way to get a lower increase.
This guy has no attention to detail and, in an email to the RA list, I corrected one of the five errors in the letter he sent to every apartment and offered them a chance to fill in a form naming someone else to represent them. I don't want him to be the sole representative because the lawyer for the other side will destroy him. Mean man is doing this for glory.
What is interesting is that if one is a leader, one works for a unified front with all people present. Therefore, instead of attacking me, he should be working with me to make sure I support him. Instead he has sent threats and demanding I send out another letter telling people to sign proxies with him or else be subject to have to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars more in higher rent because they didn't join in with him.
I'm waiting for the RA exec to let me know how to respond.
