Outrageous (IMO) snow removal charge
I use a property management company, and they used two vendors for snow removal at my house (short one-car driveway, small amount of sidewalk in Omaha, NE). Between Jan 23 and Mar 2, I'm being charged almost $1700 for snow removal. We did have multiple days of snow, but the problem is, when I looked at the invoices sent by these two vendors, they both supposedly went out to the property and removed snow on the same day on five different occasions--and the amount of snow they removed adds up to about twice the amount of snow fall for that day and the days preceding the snow removal. In one case, they both removed over 9" of snow, even though the snow fall was only 7.5".
I've pointed this out to my property manager, and I'm waiting for them to respond, but I have a feeling they will insist on me paying the full amount.
How would you proceed in this situation?
