Here's why:The new manager has a generic email address and I don't actually know who I am talking to.It seems like the new company structure hes left my new manager with way more work load than she can handle, which isn't to say anything bad about her but it makes me question if I should keep my business with them.Communication is slower, usually within 48 hours but sometimes the conversation just dies and I have to remind her that I still had an unanswered question.There are things that should be communicated to me before they happen but I don't hear a word until afterward. ie lease renewals (kind of a big deal).They charge 11% for a single property and discount that by one percent for each additional house and the discounted rate is applied to all properties.
