How should an Aggie grad judge an apartment that recently changed management companies?

Quick answer

Treat the change as a reason to investigate, not an automatic positive or negative. Ask when the operator changed, whether onsite leadership changed too, what problems were inherited and what has improved since. Read the newest resident feedback and compare it with older patterns. A management transition can create short-term disruption, but it can also be the beginning of a real turnaround.
