Negligent Property Manager

[Marie V]

What type of recourse or safety net does a property owner have with a negligent property manager? Also, legally, how much responsibility does a property manager have for the actual physical condition of the property?

Please no lectures about how much the owner should be involved. As owners we are as involved as we can possibly be even though we are in a different state (through no fault of our own--my husband was transferred).

Thank you in advance for any advice or information.
