Fortunately these horrible creatures have departed. Lesson here though, if future tenants have any problems I will apologise in the nicest way and advise them that all matters must go through their agent. If it’s an emergency of course I’ll deal with it.
On Managing Agents…………there is a company title block of which I am Secretary. As Company Title the owners can decide the suitability of proposed tenants. 6 apartments, a couple of retirees and professional couples. Very quiet block. Usually no problem but this time new owners move overseas and agent is told of general requirements to suit the building – a big advantage of company title. Who does the agent recommend? Two 20 year old males with no rental history, one not working. Property manager then sends an insulting email to the directors, not appreciated at all. I advised the licensee of the agency and the owner was most apologetic and hauled the employee over the coals. Where do they get these people?? I am increasingly finding that so called ”Property Managers” are bloody useless and full of themselves.
