Termination
This could be the most important part of the contract. This section
provides for the proper procedure for terminating the agreement. Most
contracts would require notice period, spanning from 30 days to 90 days.
The termination part also enumerates the valid causes for terminating the
agreement. The owner must clarify what those causes are, because these
stipulations are usually written in a vague language. It also states the
penalties and damages that the owner may incur should he terminate the
agreement prematurely or without valid cause.
On the other hand, the contract must also provide causes for
termination if the user finds the services unsatisfactory. For example, in a
management contract for leasing an apartment. If the property management
company is unable to find prospective tenants within a certain period of
time, then the property owner should be given a valid cause for terminating
the agreement. Another example of valid cause would be if the property
management company causes damage to the property.
Sometimes, property management companies would require
termination fees, ranging from a few hundred to thousand dollars. As most
experienced property owners would say, if a property management firm
relies on termination fees to retain clients, instead of on their capability to
satisfy them, then it means that the company might not be a good one.
