Property Mgmt Company Held Liable or Owner??

[Aaron Moayed]

Hi there,

I'm wondering: if I have a property management company managing my rental property (say SFR), are they liable for lawsuits from the tenant regarding contract language, security deposits, mismanaging (not responding to a fix issue), etc., or is it the owner that ends up with the lawsuit due to the PM's negligence?

Thanks! Multiple responses preferred :D
