I tend to use the transaction percentage rule for how much of an asshole I can be when someone fucks up. In a situation like this your landlady takes 100% of your money, so you can be a hundred percent asshole if necessary. Same with an employee that you can fire and you pay 100% of their salary.
This compares to a waitress/bartender where you're paying them 10-20% ish of the transaction so only 10-20% asshole.
And finally, govt beauracracy employees where they get no cut of the transaction and you pay and influence a negligible part of their salary. It's best to just be polite and find the best enticement you can.
*Disclamour: All my posts are full of shit. If I really knew what was going on I wouldn't be here
