@Mike Giallanza  Thanks for the input! I do have the PM's confirmation on the quote in writing.  I do not NOT want to pay the other vendor for their work.  What is the next step from here?  Do I pay the total amount of the quote?  Is the PM responsible for paying the difference?  Can they still charge me of my owner's funds?

This is why I describe this situation as mismanaged.  Communication was not clear from the PM and I am seeking the best approach to resolve this issue.

Hello folks,

First time posting on this forum.  I have a frustrating situation with the turnover of my condo unit.  

Previous tenants moved out and the end of February after living there for 6 years.  There was some cosmetic work that needed to be done (paint, redo vinyl floors and replace carpet.)  Got a reasonable quote from the property manager for the total price to replace all 3 items.  Now after all of the work has been done, the bill has doubled due to miscommunication on the property manager's end.  I confirmed the price with manager through email.  There were 2 separate vendors used.  One for painting and the other for replacing the vinyl and carpet.  One vendor has been paid and the other has not.

I think I should only have to pay what was quoted to me and the rest should be paid by the property manager.  Is this reasonable?  Am I within my rights as the owner to expect this process to managed properly and the person involved with the management company be held accountable?
