CONTRACT TERMINATIONS
Ending a contract with a property manager is not easy, but it is necessary sometimes. If a manager is not fulfilling the terms of a contract or is failing to manage a rental property to your standards, it is time to cut ties and move on. Before terminating any contract, Roma Management Solutions will help you understand the terms of the contract and your legal rights for ending the contract so you are not in jeopardy of breaching the contract.
Roma Management focus is on the numbers and the results and our advise is - don't make the issue personal. If a property manager is not living up to expectations by taking too long to fill vacancies or responding to maintenance requests too slowly, you need to cut ties and find Roma Management - who will produce better results for your investment.
If management violates the terms of a contract, it is in your best interest to terminate the deal. Once they have violated your trust or put your tenants or rental property in jeopardy, it will be difficult to feel secure allowing them to manage your property. However, while some management contracts do not require cause to terminate them, others allow you to cancel them only for specified reasons.
If you attempt to end a property management agreement without proper cause, the manager could ignore your request or take you to court for breach of contract.
Terminating a property management contract requires advance notice. The termination clause of your management contract should specify how much notice must be given. Most contracts require between 30 and 90 days notice to terminate a contract. If you are not within this window, your termination request will not be honored or your request could be considered a breach of contract. In this situation, you may find yourself involved in a lawsuit.
Provide your notification to terminate the management contract in writing and not by email. Best practice is to send the notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, so you will have a record that it was sent and that the property manager received it. Make sure you include the effective date of the contract termination.
