Can I sue property manger for negligence?

Any attorney is going to need to review the contract with your property manager and the correspondence between you and the property manager in order to find out whether or not you have a claim. Many property managers, but not all, just collect the rents, pay the bills, and send reports and profit checks to their customers, and don't visit the property except to show it to prospective new tenants when a vacancy occurs. Some will also arrange for minor repairs and visit the property to let a repair contractor in. Most property managers do not make the kind of inspections that would reveal that a tenant was operating a grow-house. But there might have been something. An increase in water and electrical bills, for example, might have been large enough that the property manager should have investigated the cause of the increase. On the other hand, if you received reports ofthe monthly water and electrical bills, maybe you should have caught it, too. That's not intended as a criticism. I just want to show you that your attorney is going to need dig up all the relevant facts before making a recommendation to you. If you would like to meet to discuss having me look into this for you, please call or email me. Dana Sack
