YOU did not screen property 

Despite my efforts to reach her by phone, email, and text, it has been nearly impossible to get in touch.

Get someone on the phone at listsource and talk to them.

They’ll handle everything from tenant screening to maintenance, allowing you to stay focused on your practice.

I just setup a phone number to track my letter responses last month so I should have more accurate response rates in a few months.

@Solen KebedeTo manage a house-sharing property effectively, establish clear communication channels with tenants, automate rent collection, create a solid lease agreement, have a local support system, screen tenants thoroughly, use remote management technology, plan for vacancies, consider professional management, and prepare for your move.

I us a property management app to receive less phone calls from tenants and collect less rent in person.I am trialing a couple others, I will be glad to let you know what I decide to go with if I find one better. 

I would also negotiate down your bills by talking to someone in the government on the phone and/or in person especially about the trash service.

But, It’s truly is one of the three reasons I use a PM for the rest  1) I don’t want to screen, I don’t really like meeting new people.2) I want to stay legal in my screening, notices, demands, etc etc3) They raise rents more and faster than I would and collect more in late fees.They literally pay for themselves with increased rent/fees and I get the legal and people screening for free. 

He recently had a death in the family and is irritated that I won't give him time for to deal with that, but this has been a problem for long before the death and now he won't return my texts or answer my phone calls.
