Hi @Patrick Flanagan, and thank you for the shout out @Jonathan Greene, @Bill B.!!

If the unit is vacant, we don’t charge a monthly fee.For situations like yours, where the house needed extermination and other prep work, we would typically only bill for the costs directly related to the work or services provided, not a standard monthly management fee.Your expectations aren’t unreasonable—getting the house rented ASAP is a valid priority!
