I have emailed the PM to follow this up. I will call her this afternoon. I am not going to sack them - yet. Becasue I feel it is their job to see this through to the end and unfair to lump this on a new PM.
My son is having an operation at the RCH this week and I can't just drop everything and get down there.
Some posts make it sound so simple and easy -
In my defence - The whole point of hiring a PM is for them to manage the property. If I have to babysit them and doublecheck everything they do then I might as well manage the property myself.
How do those of you who have properties in other states than where you live manage your properties? Do you put a reasonable amount of trust in a PM to manage your property? Do you trust the emails they send you and take their word or do you fly up there every 3 months to make sure they are doing their job?
Insurance - I am not interested in ripping off an insurance company. The question is do I still take insurance out now, or do I wait until he is evicted and I have a new tenant? Moving forward when do I do this?
Photographs - Am I allowed to ask for internal photgraphs of each room or is this an invasion of the tenants privacy?
Please no more criticism of the things I have done wrong or questions I ask that to some of you may seem like no-brainers.
If you wish to give some helpful advice about moving forward then I would appreciate that.
