What I do see is that a strong screening process improves your chances of getting a responsible resident. 

Crooks know properties advertised for rent are vacant and easy targets.Now, if your PMC decided to do self-showings, they should have also taken responsibility for any resulting damages.

And if there is a significant public purpose (doubtful) what would the new law do, require an immediate foreclosure?

I've asked a couple questions in the slack so far and have had almost immediate responses from very experienced members.  

Thank you all for your responses.

and in response to your question about someone else - also difficult. 

It would also have to be put up and taken down between each tenant and I don't know how responsive your PM will be to this extra work. 

If there’s no response, consulting with a real estate attorney would be wise to determine how to terminate the agreement and recover unpaid rent.Once they’re ready to switch PMs, I can recommend some reputable property managers here in Indianapolis who are responsive and trustworthy.

But given you experience with getting anything from this group, I would not hold my breath that you will even see a response, even if financial statements are required to be provided.So, then you next step is a lawsuit to force reporting.  

While I always prefer to do deals with local, responsive agents.
