    What level of service should I expect from a property manager?

    IP with bad neighbors

    Thank you for the replies. I paid another visit to nearby neighbors and learned lots. They tell me the troublesome ajoining house with loud music, junkyard and scum residents is owned by the occupiers from an inheritance. Those residents are disliked by all I spoke with, cause excessive noise...
