I suppose we've seen just about ALL of it in Property Management: 

• the tenant from hell
• the tenant from heaven
• the sob story
• the slob story
• the slum lord
• the good lord
• the squatters
• the plotters
• the pleaders
• the cheaters

.....and the list goes on.....

We are thankful for the lessons we've learned which have assisted us in becoming wiser stewards over the properties we manage for others.  The excitement of renting to a grateful tenant seeking a nice place to live is still with us.  It's what we enjoy!

We answer the phones with anticipation of interviewing yet another family, couple, or single person.  We are optimists and expect the right match  for our home or apartment, understanding the plight and perspective of the renter.  Our telephone answering policy prompts us to "sound" friendly!  We want the renter to have a great experience when dialing Rice Property Management!  Some have called looking to lease, and end up purchasing a home instead, as we prepare and guide them through the steps.   There are GOOD tenants out there and we have our share!

Then there are the ones that leave the place like this:

The GOOD news:

• 1) We are able to recoup damages 
• 2) The house can be salvaged
• 3) We did not have to spend money to evict
• 4) The Security Deposit covered some of the expense
• 5) We've seen MUCH worse!

 WHEW!  SHE'S GONE!
