Manager has to go, but he is making the owners lots of money

I agree 100% with the previous reviewer. I have been living here for 2 months, I owned a construction company for 6 years, I am experienced in construction and property management. The place is nice, but the manager stinks. There has been numerous complaints, but the owners are happy as can be because it is a money making mill.
Tenants are setup for failure from the get go, the kitchen and bathrooms have cheap vinyl flooring with will not last 6 months, the rated life of the flooring by the owners is 2 years, when the flooring fails the tenant pays for replacing it, the replacement is done by the in-house employees, but the tenant is given an invoice from an outside company, thus the owners make a profit. It would be just as easy to replace the flooring in the kitchen and bathroom with innexpensive ceramic tile that will last 20 years, but then the owners will not make money on it.
The same goes for a bathroom sink in the master bedroom with carpeting around it, this is a setup, there is no way to avoid water damage from this setup, when the carpet fails the tenant pays for replacing the carpeting in the entire apartment at a cost of almost $1,000.00. The in-house employees load their pickup truck with cheap carpeting from a local mill, replace it themselves and the tenant gets handed an invoice from a local carpet installer. Both these practices are illegal and can be challenged in court.
When the lease is up the rent gets jacked up about 10% without any explanation whatsoever, tenants move out almost every day because they get sick of it. There is some hope, the tenants are talking about organizing and hiring a lawyer to protect their interest. Their first agenda is to get the manager fired.
