I would not have been doing my job if I did not charge the tenants for clogging the commode.I had one tenant file a complaint because we did not approve his application even though he was currently going through an eviction.Just had one applicant the other day place a bad review on yelp saying how she has this great rental history, when she is not on the lease agreement and the property management company will not give us any rental history on her because she is an unauthorized occupant.It is probably wise look at the BBB and Google reviews but you have to take it with a grain of salt because, it is usually owners or tenants that are unhappy that take the time to post negative reviews even though the management company has performed flawlessly under the agreement.I know one top property management company as an F rating on the BBB even though they are a good management company.We currently have an A+ rating but that can drop at any time is the BBB does not look at the validity of the complaints they just go by the number of complaints.Again, I believe the best way to find a good property manager is to seek a property manager out and has invested in advanced training and education and has attained designations, usually they also have years of experience.

In order to mitigate some of these items that the retail buyer CANNOT see but can be issues nevertheless, I would always highly encourage paying for a year's worth of Home Owner's Warranty.
