If you've got a signed contract that you must pay him comission on anything you buy, then you have to get him to sign a release that he agrees that the contract is cancelled.In future, never sign any agency form that binds you to a buyer's agent for a set length of time, and makes you liable to pay him commission on anything you buy, whether he is involved or not.When you sign a buyer's agent contract is should do no more than state that the agent will represent you and that you will pay him the commission on any house that he finds for you.You can even sign the conrtract one house at a time.If an agent wants to insist upon a more binding contract, just tell him no.

After a while I was surrounded by several men, insisting on me telling them what I was doing here.

They're going to insist on seeing a signed lease, and then only count 70% (IIRC) of the rent shown on the lease.If you know the market and you're worried about being able to rent, imagine how they'd feel if they knew.

You may argue all you want on what I do and do not have for OE, but you will be wasting all of our time as you can only assume and have your opinions.You insist on posting my duplex unit numbers so you may critique them.

Yes, you could certainly insist that they fix everything they've broken before you renew their lease.

I should have insisted.

With the second one, I insisted on a fixed rate from the beginning.

If they trash it...insist another BPO...the value comes in lower...you just made the whole thing worth your while.

Your friend should make it clear that she will file for bankruptcy if the landlord insists on the full amount.
