I have been renting for twenty-five years now and I can say that I have rented from both property managers and individual owners and can say that it is a crap shoot. Of the four individual owners, two were great and two were horrible. The best rental I had was had a property manager who lived on the property. The property manager is a very good one who is firm but can be flexible in the right instance. I was laid off from my job and when I asked to pay my rent in to two payments each month, she said no problem. The first place that I rented from a guy who turned out to be an alcoholic and a slimelord. I had to threaten to take him to court so he would fix a leak in the unit that during one bad storm was almost pouring into the unit. The property managers that I have had are not as flexible in the large complexes. If you are going to rent from a property manager make sure it is a place that isn't more than 50 units, that they live on the property and that the property managment company doesn't manage more than 3 properties.
