Listing Agreement with realtor - for rental.

[Margharita Silva]

I am looking for agents to use for leasing my condo in North Jersey and found one in our building who does a lot of sales and rentals. He sent me the lease leasing agreement and it is a year long!
I am hoping to find a tenant in about 2 months max and asked him if we could do a 60 day contract instead with an option to renew or add a cancellation clause to the contract but he refused although he did say he would let me out and "mitigate" if needed but he wouldn't amend the contract and the terms to reflect that.
How common is a year long rental lease listing?
Is it standard for them to not include a cancellation clause?
I also told him i don't want guarantors and he said that might be discriminatory

is that right?
I appreciate any feedback!
