Do you have any experience?

Maybe they are only six months in and don't have any real experience to speak of.

Personally I don't ask for pics unless there is an issue and she sends them to me automatically.IMHO if you have a good cleaner that you trust, asking for photos is probably superfluous. 

Tenant took photos and videos but nothing detailed - a single shot or two of a room from the entrance, so is saying fridge was fine, normal wear etc Next - If we are being nice and deducting ‘portions’ of the charges and tenant continues to grind away, or this goes to court, do the compromise and smaller amounts offered negate the full amounts that could have been charged

I saw an example recently in Bloomberg about how local regulations can really shape a landlord’s experience, from what I’ve heard.

I ended up switching PM companies to RPM, and have had a better experience with them so far.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Truly appreciate all the great advice from your experiences.
