Waiting for Landlord to contact me

We are moving on 3/1 but have not heard from anyone yet. At what point should I reach out to the realtors to say we haven't been contacted, or should I reach out to the property manager first? It seems to me that there isnt a need to contact me a few weeks out, but now that it is about a week away, I am starting to wonder...


Thoughts?

I hope that you didn't give any money to this realtor? I would go to the manager and introduce myself, and start the process. I certainly hope that you haven't been victim of a scam. Please let us know w/ updates.

Sounds like the classic scam of someone with no authority "renting" a place and disappearing with the money.

All worked out.

The Realtor just hadn't sent the lease over to the property manager yet.

I emailed them and got the ball rolling. Perhaps i shouldn't have waited to do that!
