Oh! The conglomerate* wouldn't seem to apply to real estate businesses since they usually specialize in one particular type or another, commercial or residential, and even subdivided there, and the companies wouldn't typically have other kinds of businesses under a corporate "umbrella", if you will (like they'd stoop to that level, right?), but in the apartment leasing they often have a dissociative attitude, where "the right hand doesn't know what the left does" (but of course not in the way that relates to charity as it is there).

I'd first like to point out here that I have keywords associated with this page of "Americans with Disability Act, ADA violation, handicap accessible, accessibility" but are part of my "template", if you will. I suppose my expertise is more in line with gov't assisted housing aspect overall and in this particular case the business may be more compliant as to handicap accessibility than missionrock.net was. In that case they were deliberately cruel, as became very apparent since the day I was moving out they finally got around to working on the broken door opener (I kid not) when it was inoperative for months. They had thirty days to repair it after their building failed inspection (which I requested) but wouldn't & didn't and since the gov't assistance payments to them would be suspended until the door opener was fixed I thought it best to move. At that level their (real estate people's) business practices are frightening. They're fine with people out in general public believing that I'm just whatever kind of bad person. There's like a layer of impersonation to the real estate (investment) culture, to where the actual property owners conceal themselves (to the best of their ability) through using limited liability corporation designation (licensing, certification? I dunno specifics) and of course some protection from lawsuits. Property ownership can also be shared among a group in their portfolio, too, but all of that doesn't concern me really as long as I don't feel the need to find out exactly who the individual people are, from my perspective or position anyway ... I'm not thinking that other people might want to find out who they are for more nefarious reasons, or maybe just to sell them a lifetime supply of disposable pool covers (they removed the pool in this complex, which is fine, they're not really worth the risk as far as I'm concerned).

So here I ran into the very same issue I've had before to where the managers wouldn't account for the gov't assistance amount so the online payment portal wouldn't be accurate for me to utilize it and some wouldn't care ... and there I say "some" because the other aspect that I can't help but to associate with the residential property management field is the incredibly high turn-over rate... & although I'm perfectly aware of the narrative that "oh, they just moved on to better position", just business idea it becomes obvious it's more than that. If any one would counter with "it's a rough trade" (ok) but there'd be the associated stigma & stereotype of their tenants, especially with multi-family residential housing (apartments) ... and there I'd have to point out that is immediate sympathy (defense) of the associated enity in power who's or that's involved. A point of typical group dynamics involved with an organization to accomplish some goal, whether it be capitalistic venture or a human services type, will tend to degrade over time in terms of being detail orientated, but each to it's own form of process; the latter of which often leads to reduced funding, shortage of supplies, decreased sanitary conditions (e.g., in institutional facilities), etc. In capitalist ventures there are gov't regulations, licensing, certification, etc. involved which can be thwarted and affect humans physically (includes by definition, financially, since in average people put physical effort into earning money). Of course the other kind of degradation that can be associated with capitalist organization is efficiency, and like a human services organization, expediency, is substituted and proliferated by use of intimidation, attrition, rebuff, etc., where the individuals in the organization who are languishing most, a driving influence, can cause havoc on the ethical operation of the business. When it becomes necessary for gov't to get involved, imposing fines, investigating, etc. (which doesn't happen as much as it should or could, if funded adequately) then it could be argued that shouldn't happen at all... no, not for open free market or whatever nonsense, like people ain't capable to be mean & abusive where money is involved, but because of business ethics, it shouldn't reach that level (theoretically). The other risk is that a business overextends itself and can't meet its commitments and with real estate there can be humans adversely affected in the process. Laws are in effect in our society to minimize the chance of that which cover a range of scenarios (quite simply).

To get to the point here for this presentation is that by real estate broker licensing being involved and required when leasing apartments to people in general public since there is safety concerns which is evident by there being established laws meant to protect both parties involved with renting, leasing. It could be assumed that when an apartment is leased out the entity offering the contract or agreement would need to be licensed. The person holding the license would obviously need to have a correct address associated with their name too, even if it is commercial type. I wouldn't have any reason to look these people up using the current online services available now. I'd really rather not have to do this since I've other things I'd rather do... it's not a hokey jealous obsession of mine which otherwise wouldn't involve me personally. In this publicly accessible webpage is the link for my landlord to verify payments made to them, although still it's really up to them to acknowledge the true results. I'm thinking that they (some landlords, or apartment managers) feel it's ok for them to lie, sorta like cops interrogating suspects can, since they're doing a social service of sorts, albeit in a vigilante and misdirected way, by helping gov't housing assistance recipients off of the welfare roles (as it's so often stigmatized as) but in reality there are people on housing assistance who've suffered some of the most atrocious abuse in their lives. It's not like mine dropped into my lap one day, I went through a process too, and do what I can to show appreciation. I'm doing what I'm supposed to do here.

I looked up the property's county assessor information, too, and there were two limited liability corporations associated with the ownership. Looking them up in the state's business entity name database search it gives an address that's in northern California, near San Francisco and the business even sports a photograph of the local namesaked bridge. I looked up the name of the representing agent for the owners that signed the lease in the state's department of regulatory agencies database (although the real estate brokers have a separate online utility apart from the other services or industries which are licensed) and the associated name for the company (a LLC) has a different name associated with the license (not a big deal in itself, I suppose) but the address listed belongs to the office of a trade journal publication (serious!) and there's no individual by the name working for it (I personally visited the office & asked... no, I'm not stupid, the trade publication has the same address on their contact page of their website as the real estate broker's license). Both have 6021 Syracuse Way, #103 Greenwood Village, CO 80111.

The individual who signed to approve the leasing contract, Judith L. Mann, can be found in the database for real estate broker license too, but is listed as "Inactive".
