Landlord's Apartment Contents Values - friction? 2381 8
Started by nixonjf
I'm trying to work through issues with value reporting for owners of apartment complexes.
For contents, they frequently report $0 or a very low figure (say $5,000) for the values for the entire complex.
The office has desks, chairs, computers, etc. There is typically some exercise equipment, common laundry, and maintenance tools/equipment someplace. The units themselves have a set of appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher, range, micowave, and some basic window coverings.
I run into a lot of ap...

So, there I was on my neighbors roof replacing three wind damaged shingles. I&160;come inside to find all kinds of changes here in the forums. I take it Roy lost his temper with Olegred and the bickering Wow!

GPS tracking devices 3093 19
Started by olderthendirt
Recently a vendor I know of promised the company that all the adjusters working the storm (on a day rate) would have GPS tracking devices so the company could tell where the adjusters were at any time. Although this did not happen this time, the idea is on the table.
Would you work for a vendor that wanted to track you&160; Do you want the company knowing where and when you are.&160;

I just graduated college with an insurance degree, and got married 2 months ago....I have a few questions that I wanted to ask current adjusters. Are you away from home a lot, and for how long on average are you away from home Are you gone 4 days out of the week, etc... And in a few years we plan on having children, any adjusters with families; how often do you see your children Is the money worth the travel I'm new to this and the amount of time spent away from home is a concern of mine.

IF YOU CAN NOT DO THIS, you are not qualified to be called. It may take 2-3 weeks to get it right, but its at your own speed. Learn xmate first, OR do the ...

Hey everyone, curious about your take(s) on a sump and related equipment...

Well, what if there is no pump That leaves us with only 'a sump'. I did some dictionary pulling and found that the raw definition for a sump (en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sump) is 1. a hollow or pit into which liquid drains, such as a cesspool, cesspi...
