what do you do when your current management company of 12 years (knowing they are about to be replaced) lets their service deteriorate. they have given our accountants a hassle getting info for annual statements, they have not sent a bank reconciliation since december. monthly accounting statements from february still have not been provided. communication between the company and coop office employee is strained. there are many other factors playing into this that i should not get into on a public board. has anyone successfully sued a management company for such activities?
well there are other circumstances playing into this. our manager left us. he was still an employee of this company managing other buildings while supposedly working solely for us 24/7. he leaves and winds up at THIS COMPANY. they have been doing our back office operations over these 12 yrs. so with only 3 weeks notice we were forced to interview managemnt companies----as you know not nearly enough time to conduct this process. especially when you consider the management companies normally give you 60 days notice when they don't want to manage your building. so there are a lot of factors entering into this.
I disagree: Our Board fired our previous manangment company, and not only did they continue to behave in a professional manner, they assisted the transition.
Its in the best intrest of the outgoing manangement to behave in a proper manner. The world of manangement, due to communication through the internet, is growing very small. And reputations do matter.
Logic would dictate that if someone is displeased with services being rendered that the company make a concerted effort to improve service and not slack off.
But I guess when emotions are involved, logic doesn't come into play.
If the management company is that bad...maybe you give there name...so no one else will use them!
Jan, this is not a site where we wash our dirty laundry.We do not through names out there. This was discussed in the past. See archieves.

Well, if you say they know that they are about to be replace, this is the attitude you may get or should expect.
Why do you think many employers leave workers out when advanced notice is given? to prevent disruptive behaviors.
So, when changing management, you should be as secretive as possible to avoid unresponsiveness.
