Well I talked to the PM guy today before I left.

He really laid it on me, real thick. Tried to tell me that it was part of business renting a home to take a hit here and there. I said that was good and dandy but it was somthing every month so far. He then said it would be smarter of me to cough up the (75-200 bucks) money for the frozen pipe. "Best to keep the tenants happy" he said. I said no way. The tenant put the hose on after it was taken off the other month. Then it freezed. He should pay for freezing the pipes up.

PM says that it could cost me more money in the long run if they tenant decides not to renew because of this. I held my ground and refused to pay. I also said no more repairs without notifying me first, not one cent.

I talked to another buddy of mine out there and he is going to try to help me sort this out. If I fired this PM co. and got another one I'd probably just end up with another guy jerking me around. I figured I would have a PM watch it until I got back. Big mistake that was.

Thanks for the replies. I asked for a copy of the lease to be sent to me so I can get in touch with the tenants as well.
