Old Management Company Didn't Cancel Service for Snow Removal

[Michael Wagner]

The previous management company of  a property I purchased did not cancel services with a snow removal company upon the sale of the property and subsequent change in management ( it is now owner managed).   The snow removal company has approached me about payment for services subsequent to the sale and transfer.  I was not aware this service was taking place. 

My understanding is that any recourse that the snow removal company has will be with the previous management company as they entered into the agreement and therefore it should have been there responsibility to cancel. 

Has anybody had a similar experience or can corroborate if my understanding is correct?  I realize that it could vary depending on the wording in the actual agreement but I would not expect a service contract to transfer to new management with the sale of the property.
