When it comes to services, I would be inclined to agree that it is better to stay in a rental that is professionally managed as opposed to owner-managed. However, with that being said, there are 1,000s of owner-managed properties where you would be hard pressed to have a management company even come close to comparing when it comes to service. If your initial and only desire is to make sure you are dealing with a reputable company/property, there are many ways to go about making sure they are who they say they are. One of them is to ask them for references of past renters. Specifically their last three renters. If they are "unable" to or, "un-willing" to that should be a red flag. Hope that helps.
