I would even venture to guess that it is not a simple letter to the lender or trade that gets a lien release.   

Our application has a release for information included, which becomes usable once they sign the app:AUTHORIZATION TO RELEASE INFORMATION— The landlord or landlord’s representative who will verify information is (PM name).

On paper, our municipality looks more dangerous, but if you spent 10 minutes on the ground you would realize the reverse is true.Some parts of the country basically have a "catch and release" program for criminal behavior. 

You may also finance your properties with a blanket loan, and can do partial releases. 

The property manager should NEVER release the credit report to an owner. 

My lawyers have told me to walk the property that morning (or the night before) and call them to let them know if they should release the money.You can also drive by the area to get an idea of the storm damage.

In essence they want to lease your house, and then re-lease it to someone else for more money than you are leasing it to them for - keeping the difference for themselves.  

I see a lot of PMs putting in deadbeat tenants, then 2-3 months later they're charging owner to get them out and another release fee.   

Clearing it with the state means they will only do it if the state signs off they release the lein..

The problem is it sucks, it barely works, it's surprisingly unintuitive for something so simple, and barely any guests actually use it.Which is kind of the same reason we're not discussing this on Google+ while wearing our Google glasses and talking about which version of Google Stadia is best to put into our homes as we communicate with our cleaners through Google Hangouts.While google obviously has a few big hits like Maps/Flights/Gmail, the majority of google releases follow the same pattern of great technology, horrible interface, no marketing, and eventual abandonment by Google.
