The experience of dealing with a property management company can vary widely depending on individual circumstances, such as the specific property, location, personal preferences, and social media ratings.
However, there are some resources available that can help residents in New York City make informed decisions about property management companies. Online review sites, such as Yelp and Google Reviews, can provide insights into the experiences of other renters with particular companies. The Better Business Bureau can also provide information on a company's reputation and customer complaints.
It's wise to do your research and due diligence when selecting a property management company to rent from, including reading reviews, asking for recommendations from friends and family, and thoroughly reviewing the lease agreement before signing. Additionally, suppose you experience issues with a property management company during your tenancy. In that case, it's essential to document the problem and communicate with the company in writing to resolve it promptly.
However, some property managers either don't know how to read the smell of rotten odor or don't give a damn.
