Preservation methods in prepackaged, jarred, processed, and canned foods require the use of chemicals that are inherently acidic or have properties that loosen the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES). I allow three exceptions in the Acid Watcher Diet: canned tuna, chickpeas, and beans. Canned tuna must be water packed and drained before using. Canned chickpeas and beans must be organic and thoroughly washed to eliminate traces of acidified liquids. [2017] - Jonathan Aviv

Property management fees differ depending on the size of the property and its location, usually ranging between 8% and 12% of the monthly rent, with 10% being the most common for single-family and small multifamily properties. Also, management companies have a "placement" fee that is typically equal to one-half of the first month's rent (or even the entire first month's rent) upon a lease signing. Some management companies also charge a "renewal fee" each year when the tenant renews their lease, but this is not as common. [2015] - Brandon Turner
