J-sun said:So if I understand the advice of most recently, folks think in addition to my communications with the rental agency, I should get in contact with the land owner himself, who is the lawyer. (he doesn't live there, he contracts the rental of the property through a rental agency who then handles all the rental issues).
I wonder, so it doesn't appear I'm stepping the the folks at the rental agency, if I should let them know--that I want to talk to the owner. My guess is the lawyer doesn't even write the check directly for the work. IT's probably the rental agency, but that's another realm I know nothing about. I've never rented from an agency, only directly from the owner.
At any rate, this is probably about as "non-tree" oriented a conversation ever found on this web site!!!
Thanks again, J
J-sun,
i only have a little experience with property management companys, but it may be worth your while to let the land owner know whatis going on. He i sthe one who still pockets the majority of the monthly rent money. The management companys handle many properties, only taking a small percentage from each properties monthly rent. The total sum from all the properties adds up to the amount needed to make a business of it. So, i doubt the management company footed the bill for the tree removal. The landowner owns the property, and the tree's on it.. I'm most certain the repairs and maintenence of the whole property is handled by the property management company, but PAID by the property OWNER, or taken from his percentage of the monthly or yearly rents collected (depending upon how he receives his due income. monthly or yearly).
I'm not an expert, and i could very well be wrong in this situation!
Good Luck,
Ron
