Property managers, who pays for evictions

[Tom Fidrych]

I'm shopping for a new property manager. If a tenant you have placed is to be evicted, do you take care or it as part of your management service or is the owner billed for each court appearance and all governmental fees?

Depends on the company. I have offered free evictions for almost a decade. Why? Because they are so rare for me. With 400 rentals under management, I have only evicted once in the past 8 years.

Most managers will charge the owner. Read your PM Agreement or talk to the PM to get clear on this.
