Earlier today, a landlord here in Louisville was killed during a dispute over a $60 utility bill.  I wrote about this as well as a few steps you can take to avoid this situation on my BP blog.  Please read and add any systems you have in place to prevent similar tragic situations.

    It's not a lie.  I am the Property Manager.  If asked, I disclose that I have a vested interest in the property.  There is no need for me to volunteer that I am the owner just as there is no need to volunteer how much I am making off of the tenants, my home address or the names of my children.  

     The intent is to deceive. That is a lie.  You are telling them a partial truth - "I am the PM" - in an attempt to make them believe that you are JUST the PM, and that someone else is the owner. Your blog makes that quite clear.
