I hate my rental house

So if you had a management company taking care of the rental of your property how would a situation like this be handled? Is there any protection through them against renters destroying your house? Are they responsible in any way to prevent it from it from being abused?

We were just deciding whether to rent our house out or not.

Not really. How would you hold the management company responsible for something they didn't do? However, some management companies help find renters, and you may be able to have some agreement about splitting damages in that situation.

My boss certainly holds me responsible for things people I manage screw up so I was hoping since you hire them to manage it they did more than find renters, cash their checks and take their cut. I'd like to know what kind of agreements people have with management companies. If there was any protection offered that would make the case for a management company much stronger.
