2. Terminate Current Contract
If you currently have a property manager that you would like to terminate:
- Check your current property management contract to see what type of notice is required. It is typical that you will be required to give a written 30 day notice. If possible, call the property manager to see if they will accept a shorter notice. Many will, especially if they know that you are not happy with how they handle your assets. If you do not have a written contract, you can assume 30 days is required.
- Compose a brief letter such as a sample below:
