Well, I must say that I know not everyone uses them for maintence. However, I did occassionally and they were always great!!!

There may be another reason for them not re-newing your contract. Which is their right. If they got complaints, or the renter is "difficult" or a slew of other reasons, then they will NOT put you under contract again.

They are able to do this for many reasons. First it is their right...secondly, they have SO MANY people that want to be in there that they can do that and not worry about it negatively impacting their business.

As far as MJM stating that it is good business sense. I HIGHLY disagree with that remark. I don't always agree with the way WAM does things..... but it is an old business and people always come back. Because of location, service and the way it is maintained. However, there are people that do get very angry with the owners for the way they do things.... like this one.

However, it is one of the benefits of being the owner of a family business..... no corporate exec's telling you that you HAVE to do something. WAM can do as they please.
