listing of the rental not in fmls no responses

[Gp G.]

My rental still does not have many responses as listed by my current Property management company . Only 7 contacts no applicants in last 15 days. I reduced rent by 100 $ last week as well from zillow Zestimate rent

I spoke to other new property manager whom I am thinking to switch for long time. He says as blow

I can see why. They have it listed as an apartment and it’s not on the FMLS. No one can see it. 



Seems this new  PM has better knowledge. If I cancel the PM contract do I need to pay a 1 year agreement fee to the old PM. After merger of my PM company with national company my experience went from good to bad to worse now.  Is it mandatory to put in fmls? I see advertisement in Zillow, redfin etc. sites. Is listing as apartment for this one unit of duplex is wrong?

Can you please advise
Thanks

I don't believe it's mandatory to list the property in the MLS, unless it was a part of your contract. However, most property management companies utilize every available platform to maximize exposure and lease properties as quickly as possible. Your Property Management Agreement should also confirm if there is penalty for canceling. Hope it all works out in your favor.
