Including the cleaning, maintenance, and advertising that most people associate with managing a property, working with tenants to process applications and sign leases is a big part of a property manager’s job. In addition to facilitating all the payments, a property manager would handle the complicated business of eviction, should the need ever arise.
In a recent Atlanta court case, a property owner improperly filed documents when attempting to obtain months of unpaid rent from a former tenant. The court ruled in the tenant’s favor, and the property owner had to pay $6,000, not including expensive legal fees.
