Not my strong suit!
I actually talked to a different property's leasing rep. No anger, no
kissing up, just straight talk. or He responded as if hearing an
unusual request and dismissed it. I think I may have then asked if
they support community so that people who have no money can get low
cost/free education.
My reasons why the realtor/bank should do this are not the same
reasons as theirs. There's no agency; no paperwork to put it to them
in a comforting way.
Trust is certainly an issue why would a property owner take the risk
on his investment?
Anyway, I'm no good at this stuff.

Sure. I'm perfectly happy to clean stuff up and whatnot.
