Best Way to End Relationship With Contractor

[Cortez Wilson]

Hello,

I have an investment property 3 hours away from me that’s getting rehabbed. My relationship with my contractor is going sour and I thinks it’s best that I move in a different direction. I paid him 25% in advance to start the next phase which is drywall but at this point I’m willing to count my losses. He hasn’t been at my property all week and I’ve had someone else start the next phase. My biggest concern is vandalism to my property once he finds out that I moved in another direction.

Has anyone else been in this situation, what’s the best way to handle this?

Thank you in advance.
