Managing the Manager... Property Manager questions

[Bryan Crow]

My property manager states in his contract that I can terminate our agreement by written notice anytime with a 60 day notice and a payment equal to 2 months rent. This seems excessive. A previous company I dealt with in Tampa had a 1 month rent early termination clause. I can terminate on the anniversary with 60 days notice without penalty but the agreement stays in force as long as the resident stays in the property. Is this SOP?

My property manager does not want to do property inspections. Have you heard of this? What is a typical charge for a quarterly inspection?

Thanks in advance.
