[QUOTE="seriously, post: 444280, member: 11920"] Definitely sounds like unprofessional behavior by the realtor and I think it's safe to assume that the owner would appreciate hearing that this is happening. They are paying for those management services and, just like you would complain about a problem with someone's employee, you have the right to complain about the realtor. I would suggest you try not to be too mad about this. If you've had good interactions with the realtor in the past I would be cautious about leaping to conclusions. For all you know the woman is on vacation because a family member is dying. who knows. Maybe you just got her on a really, really bad hair day? And it might be the owner who didn't want to deal with coordinating the schedules and gave the realtor grief - who passed it on. Lots of possible explanations that don't justify her behavior but might cast a different light on it. Tenants do not deserve to be yelled at or treated disrespectfully. That's what I would complain about to the owner and, if the realtor has a boss at the management company, to her boss. Calmly sending a message to the realtor that you found her behavior unprofessional and you look forward to a better working relationship in the future may be helpful since you do have to deal with this person in the future, even if you decide to move out. If it won't be inconvenient I would be there when the owner gets there. In general, it is best to be present to avoid any problems like things missing after they have been and gone and then having to deal with a bigger problem than coordinating schedules. We have a rental that we had to convert when we couldn't sell it a couple years ago and we have a management company handling it. One of the things that we do is an annual inspection by the management company to check for repairs that need to be made or maintenance issues that the tenant might not be aware of like needing painting done. Everything is done by advance notice and the tenant is home if possible. Every year the inspection has turned up issues that the tenant didn't realize needed to be dealt with from our perspective. We stay on top of maintenance things because we are treading water and if something minor turned to something major because of our neglect it would be really bad. It may be something else is going on with the landlords. You could just ask them when they come over and they really might just be worried about the A/C's. [/QUOTE]
