I am hoping that somebody can shine some light on the situation I am in. I am a landlord and I have found out that my property manager is very good friends with my tenants. She has not told me this and she doesnt know that I know this. I want to change real estates, but I don't know if I have good enough grounds to leave without having to give the 90 days notice. I had a gut feeling all along that something was fishy, as she never seemed to be working for us, but instead the tenants.
We have been displeased with our PM's management. She constantly delays sending out our statements. Our fortnightly payments are never paid on time, and constantly different amounts are paid to us, which make it extremely difficult for us to know where we are paid up to. I have spoken to her about our payments on countless occasions. Furthermore, when we first had the house up for rent, it seemed as though she was holding back the property to the public. She failed to upload pictures of the house onto the internet, and after two weeks of the house being vacant, she advertised it in the newspaper, but quickly got us to sign the tenants before the ad was published.( I realise now she had been keeping the property for her friends).
Our recent inspection was two Fridays ago, and I still havent received our report back. She has told me that there is a termite issue that I want sorted out ASAP and she is asking me to wait until late next week before going over there to look at the property!
I fear that there is other people living at the property and she is giving them time to clear up the evidence before we go over there to look at the termite issue.
Is there a law against PM's renting out to their friends? Isnt it a conflict of interest?
I want to personally speak with the real estate owner and let them know what has been going on, but I dont know where I stand, and what rights I have. Has anyone else had this problem?

I called the real estate last week to arrange a time to go to the property to have a look at a maintenance issue, and I am still waiting for the PM to call me back to let me know what time we can go there. I even told her that today was the only day this week that I can arrange to go over there.
