They should communicate any time there's a problem or a pending turnover.It's my belief that a PM that requires baby-sitting is a PM that should be fired.

Most of the homes around us are being purchased by religious community that doesn’t mix with anyone outside of their own.

You and your uncle are both wrong in your belief that you do not have leases with your tenants.
