PM Issues
I received a call from my tenant that a leak is coming into his unit from the unit above. The PM was supposed to have resolved this problem 2 months ago before the leak started. The PM got a quote from a contractor and I made the payment. But 2 months later no work has been done. Is there any liability against the PM?

The liability would be the money that you've already paid them. I would want to quickly know why this isn't resolved. Are you sure no work was done, or was the problem just not resolved? There are occasions when something is done to fix a problem, but either creates a new problem, or did not actually solve the original problem.
If any new work is required, you may think about finding your own contractor to do it, or let the PM know that you will be paying the contractor directly. Always request before and after photos of work that is done by a PM.
