Getting out of property management contract

Our Experts Answer:

You acknowledge that you have a contract with your property manager which requires their management to continue to the end of the current tenancy. However, you have not said why you want to change property managers. Simply wanting to break your contract is not good enough reason. You will need to establish that the property manager has failed in its duty to you as your agent. This is possibly an issue that the Disputes Tribunal will hear. However, if you cannot establish a serious failure on the part of your property manager you will be unlikely to succeed in terminating the management contract.
