I have been trained in Structural, Electric and Plumbing.

Learn how to be a landlord and how to fix stuff around the house- basic plumbing, electrical, etc.

Usually, I always clean up and do any renovation to a house before I rent it to people.

The governing documents (bylaws) which, the management company is claiming is why it was denied, state:Limited LiabilityThe association shall not be liable for any failure of water supply or other services to be obtain by the association or paid for as a common expense or for injury or damage to person or  property caused by elements or resulting from electricity, water, snow or ice which may leak or flow from any portion of the Common Elements.... it goes on

You can hire a lot of things without hiring a licensed realtor such as a secretary, customer service representative, an advertising specialist, general contractor, cleaning service etc.

Scheduling repairs, clean outs, preparing eviction paperwork and showing up to court

They cannot obtain permits for plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work.
