If you have lived at the property and done work on it yourself, paying $165 for clearing vines is something you can object too; however, if your locality actually FINES owners for unsightly conditions at their property - this cost may well be worth it....time to consider tasking the TENANT with yard maintenance.As a fee property manager, I hold a minimum $500 and max of $2,000 in my owner accounts - $500 is about the cost of replacing a hot water heater after hours.....second guessing your property manager about repairs WHEN THE RENTAL MARKET IS SOFT is like shooting yourself in the foot.

I am looking for software that already has pre assigned unit pricing and or time to complete certain tasks.
