Property ManagementMaintenance & Repair4HighLandlord$ implied

A landlord with multiple rental properties cannot find a property manager willing to handle maintenance-only services, leaving them to deal with unreliable contractors and repair issues themselves.

Property managers typically require full management contracts and are unwilling to offer maintenance-only services due to low margins and risk of non-payment. Independent contractors are unreliable.
