This is why you need to be able to check out applicants thoroughly, and I'm not talking about buying a report from an online agency.

Legally, they have breached the contract and if you take them to court you'd likely win.

I think it also locked him into using the PM for add on lines of business like using their repair services or something similar.This shows that you value the owner's business, but you want them to show loyalty in exchange for holding them in place. 

I went with Riverwoods Flooring (online with free shipping).
