Property management in Austin gone bad

[Peggy Liu]

I'm in the middle of a transitioning away from my current property manager in Austin, TX. I have already choosen a new management company.

My reasons for the change are that the old management company did not send me receipts for unit fixtures and did not advise me of the renewal leases and at what rent they were going for. I always had to reach out to him to find out. I have been trying to reach him to forward the current lease contracts with the tenants but he is MIA. He dropped the ball on a couple of things that I needed as well. The list goes on but I'll leave it at that.

Being an out-of-state landlord, I need advice on how and where I can go to get help and file a complaint on the property manager and possible legal services as the property manager has advanced his service fees for the next five months . And without telling me, he has terminated his services (3/28) to me prior to our agreed date of (4/15) and yet, still deducted advance services for 5 months?! What are my legal rights?
