Some friends contacting me now about leaving the rental game after the news today.
One of them has spoken to his agent, but his agent isnt playing ball.
His agent just wont work with him and seems to be on the side of his tenant for all things.
He thinks they are trying to keep the tenant sweet so that they stay with the agent, but its him who is paying the agent.
So he basically wants to end the relationship with the agent and go direct to the tenant himself, so he can extricate himself from the property rental business.
The agent has been collecting the rent and looking after everything for 5 years.
Current tenants are there 3 years and pay the rent via the agent. Agent takes 10% per month.
Basically he wants to fire the agent, have the rent paid direct to his account and give the tenant their required notice and then sell up.
Is there anything blocking him from ending the agreement with the agent.
