If you are not comfortable with these issues, go to a lawyer (preferably an RE lawyer in the market) for a consultation / review of the contract. 1 hour of their time may save you a lot of aggravation / headaches.PM's know that client come and clients go so while they are never happy to lose a client, their reputation also matter.Also, if you have 'made' the decision to switch PM and have another one lined up, get them on going ASAP.

Plus that's 9 more months of aggravation, and there is no telling what other issues will arise for them.But hey, your call lol.

but find it aggravating and wondered if anyone else has run into this.  

Add that in with the aggravation of having multiple management companies to deal with at higher rates because they only have 1 or a couple properties for you and I think you would probably be better off just renting a place wherever you want to go.

Not worth going through that aggravation again.

I can probably hold them to the lease, but it won't be worth the aggravation and stress long term. 

While there are alot of benefits to owning the real estate, sometimes its not worth the aggravation.

In any case, you can make some serious errors that can cost you a lot of time, money and aggravation if you don't do the deal right. 

I've reduced my holdings there mainly because of the aggravation from the borough.

Tenants are already in the building, and it's looking like we need to be in damage control mode.It was a little aggravating that it was not caught in inspection, but I think the 'seller as flipper' merited a more thorough process from our end.
