Property Manager Charged Illegtimate Fees

[Jason Leigh]

Hi everyone

We're out of state investors and handed over a rental property to a local Property Manager.  After six months on the market, we received no commucation nor any potential tenant inquiries which we found to be extremely strange given the good shape of the house and pricing.

At last we decided to take the property back.  Now we're getting a bill for few thousand dollars for so called services and maintenances performed.  We never approved these repairs as we were never told ahead of time.  Some bills for utilities were verified but others have no accompanying receipts / invoices and even double charged.  This had to be one of the most incompetent PM we've worked with.

So for those experienced members here, is there any recourse we have with this company in regards to some of these illegimate charges and fees.  Would there be anything we can do other than seek legal counsel?

Thank you for any suggestions and advice.
