First time landlord and using property management. The tenant moved in last week and I haven't heard anything - should I call him (property manager) to double check everything is okay, if they have any questions I can help with or anything? Or is this normal and I shouldn't expect to hear anything unless something goes wonky? Or should I expect him to have given me an update at check in? Trying to make sure I'm not micromanaging, but also understand where/when I should check in...

It’s fine unless they call you back. That’s what a good PM is for. Like you, I was used to micromanaging at first lol. There’s absolutely no harm in emailing or contacting to make sure all is good.

You need to discuss with the property management how often they will be reaching out. Monthly would be a minimum, that way you receive a report on rental pmt, any issues, etc.

Definitely not monthly.

Wondering what I should do.

Is this legal?
After being mugged and having my things (including my keys) stolen, I was locked out of my townhome after business hours on a weekend. I was told on the phone when dialing my complex’s after hours number (which is managed by a 3rd party company) that my complex’s policy would let me in for a cost of $100 (as it was after hours). After I was let in, property manager informed me the charge was $200. Is there anything I can do here? This is in Minnesota. Help appreciated!!
