I sense she has financial problems and was never sane from day one. Of course it is not right, but I just send her packing as I have no desire to have owner clients who do not want me. So if one day she comes back I at least can say NEVER AGAIN - get some other fool. -- Investor and Property Manager with value add solutions www.houses4rent.co.za

I gave the agent notice that I would no longer be requiring her management services (which were covered by a separate agreement between us) but I still paid her the commission due on signing of the new lease - something that was covered in the original lease and that we had agreed upon. Only once have I refused to pay the (renewal) commission and that was when the agent had shown gross negligence. I can understand the owner wishing to save money by no longer using your management services - we're all tightening belts and trying to survive - but if the lease deals with the renewal commission, you have every right to collect it. edited by reidsatsea on 2010/09/07
