Property manager renewed a lease without my consent
I recently emailed my property manager to ask about the plan for a tenant whose fixed-term lease was about to end.
To my surprise, I found out she'd already negotiated the rent and locked them into another 12-month lease — without ever running it past me for approval.
They also agreed to a new rent without my approval.
What's shocked me is that a full year was committed on my behalf without my okay.
Here's the problem: I never wanted a 12-month renewal. I'd only planned to offer 6 months, because I'm looking to sell this property to help fund the settlement on another one.
• What are my options here?
• Is it normal for a property manager to sign a new lease without the owner's sign-off?
