In fact, pick three, give them all keys (or the code to a lockbox).Is the going rate is X then regardless how much you dislike it or people on BP talk about it the going rate is the going rate.I have never heard of a company taking care of repairs under X amount, if it is legitimate then this is the business model: you overpay on your monthly and underpay on the small stuff.If you aren't comfortable with someone else running your property then sell.If you don't have to sell to relocate this isn't your biggest problem.
