Property Management Horror Stories (& How We Fix Them)

Managing property in New Hampshire involves more than just renting out a building—it requires legal vigilance, contractor coordination, and tenant satisfaction. A reliable property management company like 4 Works Services helps bridge these gaps, delivering peace of mind and maximized returns for landlords.

Landlord nightmares are real, from destructive tenants to neglected maintenance. Discover how 4 Works turns cautionary tales into success stories.

Real-World Incidents Highlight the Stakes

  • Water damage ignored for over a year: One Redditor shared how a leak reported in September lingered until visible damage was noted months later—leading to costly repairs for a shower pan and water damage—not covered by insurance

  • Tenant-inflicted damage: Another landlord faced $10,000 in damages after tenants destroyed his home and abandoned it. Months of eviction followed, highlighting risks of poor oversight

Common Pitfalls in Property Management

  • Neglected repairs escalate to insurance claims—or dangerous conditions.

  • Poor tenant communication and oversight erode trust and property condition.

  • Lack of accountability leads to out-of-control costs and damage.

Transparent Billing & Ethical Vendor Practices

Globally, mismanagement can be extreme—from inflated repair invoices to covert scams, as seen in Australia where negligent agencies exacerbate landlord frustrations. Avoid these pitfalls by hiring a management company with integrity and transparency.
