What are your obligations when you want to fire your Property Manager?

What many landlords don’t realise is, switching agencies is as simple as giving notice. The Managing Agency Agreement you signed with your current agent has a clause that states that either party can terminate the agreement, giving the required notice at any time during the management. Typically, 30 days’ notice is required – but it always pays to check your agreement. We would be happy to check it for you on your behalf if you would prefer. Most property management companies, will handle the entire change on your behalf, FREE of charge.

You can change property management companies at any time – with the right process. Switching property managers may seem difficult or uncomfortable, but the good news is that changing to a new property management company doesn’t have to be hard at all! It pays to take a step back and evaluate the quality of the property management service you are receiving and see if you are being cared for right. If you are unhappy with the service you are receiving, it is a relief to know that you are not obliged, committed, or locked into maintaining an unsatisfactory relationship for one of your biggest financial assets.

You can try our rental property appraisal service to see if your property management arrangement is right for you. If it isn’t, or you’re simply unhappy with your property manager, we’re here to offer a better solution and take all of the stress out of the switch. All you have to do is sit back and relax.
