What’s the difference between renting from a landlord or a property management company?

A professional property management company should have guidelines and processes to deal with the various scenarios relating to ongoing management. For example, LandLord Property & Rental Management has a step by step process to search and screen tenants, a standard lease for every rental agreement, rental insurance guidelines, and more. A self managing landlord might not have standard practices and procedures. At first glance, a rental applicant might be happy to deal with a ‘relaxed’ landlord. But complications could arise if other tenants aren’t screened thoroughly, the landlord doesn’t fully understand the law, or maintenance is not being addressed.
