Say for example you either own an apartment complex or a management company that has been hired to oversee one. If someone who worked for you was so grossly negligent that tenants experienced extreme losses, complications, etc., would you want to know about it?
The situation: I was 'quite' surprised to receive a LinkedIn "invite" from a person I'd never met, never had any communications with- he owns the management company that was in charge of this apartment complex awhile back. I'm guessing the only reason for the invite was the "send invites to everybody in my address book" feature, and the only reason I'd be in the address book was ongoing email communications in the past with the manager who works for his company.
During the period of time they were in charge, I lost nearly everything I owned, and as I couldn't afford to simply pack up and move my family was in a very unhealthy environment due to frequent flooding- water, moisture, and mold. While I continued to bring this to the manager's attention, no one from the company ever came over to check on the situation, so I was stuck there for more than nine months until a different management company took over.
Considering the possibility this person never knew about any of this, do you think I should write a polite detailed letter giving him the information, or simply ignore the invite, or something else?
The only reason I didn't sue the crap out of them when I should have was I was afraid I'd get evicted and had nowhere to go.

Yes if I hired a manager and they mistreated/ignored the tenants and their requests for repairs I would want to know about it.

Agree. I would be livid if I found that out but then again, there definitely could be some that wouldn't care. But if they were paying someone to take care of their property, I would hope they would be very concerned.

Exactly. I hired this person to take care of complaints, issues and general upkeep of our properties. For the manager to ignore tenants makes me look bad. He represents me. Or misrepresents me to be more exact.

Exactly. They are getting paid to do exactly that or you would never have hired them. But worse yet, not only are they getting paid to do nothing, they are ruining your reputation in the meantime.

Thank you.
I checked their little website, and it turns out the negligent manager is still working for the company.

I would definitely write him a detailed email if it were me. What do you have to lose by doing so? And ask him if he has any advice on how you can get these issues taken care of or what it will take.

Yes, I'd like to know if someone I hired was being negligent. However, I'd like to know about it in real time, not months later after the damage is already done.
I would contact him and make sure you have all your documentation lined up and ready to submit.
Didn't your rental insurance cover any of your loss?
