It can certainly be difficult to get ahold of property management companies when you call, as staff will typically deal with a high call volume as well as internal periods of unavailability.If I were in your shoes, I would email and copy in other people from the organization, if you know any, and just express that you're very concerned that you have had total silence since last week and you need to hear from someone by tomorrow.
