Lol lol 😂 so funny this property manager thinks she has a say in this. Op put her in her place!

Glad you noticed that it’s the property manager that’s the problem. We dealt with a similarly crazy one who thought that anyone who didn’t accommodate her schedule 100% and her short notice demands was labeled “difficult.” The owners probably wondered why they had “difficult “ tenants for 8 years.

I would speak to your tenant and suggest she try to avoid interacting with the property manager and record any interaction that does happen, then hope it blows over.

We live in VA and have the same issue with a power-hungry property manager for the entire building. The more people speak up, the better.

Can she legally do anything? The police were never called. By all accounts words were exchanged from both parties. I am going to call her back and don't want to walk into this blind.

I would recommend against calling the property manager. Write a letter to your condo board and report the voicemail, as well as what your tenant reported to you. Highlight hat your tenant is in full compliance with the lease, that you are in full compliance with the condo association rules, and that the property manager has no authority to tell you to cancel a lease.

Yes, I would make sure to attend the next HOA meeting. You should identify that your tenant had an emergency and did violate parking restrictions, but that you are complaining because the property manager acted in a completely inappropriate and unprofessional manner. If the property manager cannot be respectful of owners and tenants, then the property manager should be replaced. Explain that the property manager has absolutely no authority to make someone "unwelcome on the property", especially someone that has a legal lease to be on the property. Making threats and harassing owners and tenants is inappropriate and she should be warned to correct her terrible behavior.

As a condo owner you should be going to all board meetings and know your board members and know the procedure for contacting one of them to discuss an issue with the management company representative.

My condo complex recently had to replace our management company due to many serious issues. Your board needs to know what is going on with this property manager.

Of course not. What's wrong with you? The property manager *works for you*. You should fire them for their "history of being rude."

Yes, report to the condo association. You are an owner and therefore part of the group that employs this person.

Your property manager sucks. I would look into whether you can fire that person rather than risk losing good tenants.

This is what I’d do. Let the HOA know. We own a similar rental with a property manager hired by the HOA. Sounds like my building. The property manager is oddly uptight about parking despite a half full garage 90% of the time.

I wouldn’t call them back. This was one time and your tenant hasn’t been a problem before. Ignore him and report to the HOA.
