Hi Guys,
I am in a situation where a property manager has elected to terminate their management agreement with me on two properties they've been looking after for me over the past 12 months. This comes after many problems that I had discovered came to the surface and I put a little pressure on them to rectify and resolve for new tenants that have recently moved in.
It seems the agent is refusing to carry out their duties on what is very simple tasks and now that I'm putting them under the spot light with their employer, the acting agent has decided to send me a termination letter and now refusing to manage my properties at all.
I've had the tenants calling me directly (sourcing my number from their neighbours) and suggesting that the agents will not and have not responded to any of their requests and partially talking towards them in a demeaning manner leaving the tenant rather irrate. There may or may not be any major problems and all I've asked is that the property managers help resolve the tenants issue, which may or may not be from the previous tenants.
Can a managing agent just up and leave their responsibilities when the going gets a little tough? They've had a VERY easy run without too many problems until this point.
I'm a little gob smacked here, since I ourchaee four properties through them in the past 12 months and now have them not wanting to deal with me because I have had to give them a nudge and question a few of their decisions with the previous tenants whom were their personal friends who left the property damaged and with errors on leases that have cost me a few thousand dollars. They also continue to avoids providing me with any documentation whatsoever to justify any of their actons or the maintenence costs on the property including Police reports where the house was maliciously damaged and I was not notified hoping this wouldn't be noticed. I live 5hrs away so it makes things hard to manage myself hence I pay $30 per week for the property manager's to do their jobs and hopefully do them well.
Oh... I can go on and on...
Is what they're doing fair or am I sounding like a whinging *****? I'm feeling a little screwed over at the moment.
