Quite a fascinating series of events actually, it sounds like the landlord/realtor has let her attitude cost her a large amount of money, and will continue to do so if she appeals the case.

It's good to see her getting pulled up like this though.

Showing the rental for 40 hours a week, with no advanced notice. Huge invasion if privacy, and a undue burden on the renter. I'm glad they had the sensitivity issue to bring up.

Why wouldn't foreign agents leave listening devices around a state agents house?

This story reminds my a a 80's saying;

"Your mouth is writing checks that your ass can't cash"

This lady doesn't know when she is beat.

And I suspect she will spend an absurd amount of time and money doubling down on her mistake.
