 Thanks Drew, yes he is registered! I will report him. Any way I can do to get the rent? He is not picking up the phone at all.

 Thank you Nathan! appreciate your response!

 Thanks, Benjamin, the tenant pays directly to him and he takes the management fee from the rent. He does not pick up the call and is late on releasing all the rent payments. The tenant paid a month ago and he still hasn't released it. 

Thanks all!! Appreciate all your help! The manager is a registered real estate agent in IL. The contract states that I need to pay 50% of the monthly rent if I want to terminate it during the lease term. I guess best way maybe just keep the guy until end of March (end of the lease). Nothing in the contract states that he needs to be responsive, interestingly. Do I still have basis for complaint?

Hi all, I need to fire the current property manager, I was not able to get in touch with him as he never picks up the phone. How do I do it so I can 1) get him to release the rent for this month  2) have the tenant pay me directly starting next month and 3)have the manager transfer over the deposit and the keys?  How do I do this if he never picks up the call? is there something I can do? I suppose to can threaten with a bad online review, but is there something else I can do? I feel like I am kind of held hostage. 

Thank you Christen and Taylor. My management is going to talk with the HOA and the tenant, the hope is that HOA let it go with a warning, but if not, hoping that the tenant would pay for the violation fee.

The lease had a couple of sentences on that tenant should adhere to all HOA rules, but after this thing settles, I will request an addendum to make it even clearer that any violation fees (if caused by the tenant) would be the responsibilities of the tenant.

I had a new tenant just moving in last week and has already broken the HOA rules (brining guests onto the sundeck, smoking, bringing glassware, cigarette damage) according to a letter from the association manager, no pictures were taken, just a list of violations. There is a violation fee charged. Is there anything I could do with the HOA as well as the tenant regarding the violation?
