Seems a common complaint many have is the tendency of the PM firm to churn tenants through rent increases because of the fees for cleaning, advertising and tenant placement. Renter’s complaints are slow/poor maintenance and churning on rent increases.
Whenever I’ve dealt with a PM firm or establish larger complex, every lease period would see a rent increase and month to month wasn’t possible after the initial term.
When I’ve dealt with private landlords, after the initial lease period, there never an increase and going month to month was fine when I balked at singing a new lease.
