    I agree with your blunt assessment of Real Estate Agents.

     

    Have you thought about contacting the owner/s of the properties? Though it sounds like they are pretty hands off, they may be interested to hear about the performance, or lack thereof, of the agent they have appointed to manage their property/ies. If teh agent is slack with keys, they are probably slack with vetting tenants, collecting/returning bonds, repairs etc leaving a whole bunch of dissatisfied tenants and increased costs for the owner (who probably thinks the amount of fees they are being charged is normal – not due to the lack of care taken by the agent).  The owner is probably being charged quite a bit for “service” from this agent, and may be interested to hear about the problems that have occured. If you have a good property manager in your building, why not recommend them to the owner/s with the dodgy agent?

     

    Sorry I don't have any legal solutions, but hopefully a practical solution may suffice.

     

    Good luck.
