A condominium receives a variety of services and goods that are backed by contracts, whether they exist as a written document or not, and it is very important to know how to properly terminate these contracts. In a row will see some elements applicable to non-work contracts.
Written contracts
If you took the precaution of having a written contract should be made to him in detail. You may have a termination clause with a date that can be used. If this clause does not exist, can there possibly other early termination which usually involves a period of notice, which may be omitted if you pay the cost of service during that period. If there is no such clause will have to analyze the reasons for termination, because if it is simple interest Condo change must negotiate a suitable provider, not to mention that although it may have in their the financial plans of the condominium without a contract intended purpose, it is also inappropriate for a provider to continue with a client who does not want, and will negotiate a period of normal output. This period may be similar to the output termination of labor contracts is fifteen days if the provider has more than one semester provide the service and one month if you exceed that period.
course, if the motivation is that there have been failures, they must negotiate a way out, and if it is necessary to establish financial responsibility for these failures, if not determined consequences (such as fines) in the contract.
This termination should be documented in the same manner as was done at the beginning, through a settlement of the contract, closing all outstanding account, and hold harmless each other.
Verbal agreements
In any case we can assume that there is a contract. There is from the moment someone (supplier) agreed with other (government) service (thing) and an amount to pay for it (price). What there is poor documentation of the conditions of service, but also at this point, this does not mean that conditions are indeterminate.
The first thing to do is to document (with what you have) the conditions under which the service has been provided until now. After that document what has been the reaction to dysfunctional (not currently call failures yet) and third, to document the payments. Additionally it is important to get knowledgeable sources, what are the usual conditions involving the service and legal requirements. These latter are very important because their absence if they are configured a breach legal obligations are hereby incorporated into any contract, written or not.
With those resources and documents will have a great arsenal of tools and options trading, as it will be very different negotiating an early exit with a company that has complied with the law, so usual in this type of service and with an impeccable record of service, do it with one that is not in that condition.
course, if the company fails to comply with the law, with common practice and has been dysfunctional, but never received any call attention to it or if there was no evidence of this, the bargaining position is weakened and will be a wake-up call to self-criticism and improvement of administrative processes or control signal that occupies more resources to monitor the supplier.
As in the case of a written contract, although in this case the contract is verbal, if we have already seen the problems that the absence of written contract causes us, is mandatory the lesson to make a written termination (settlement)
negotiate in any case an early termination of a service, goes to prepare for the absence of suppliers as well as could be concluded early, after a process of negotiation, either may be that the provider accepts the completion and running in less than 24 hours.
So the question, rather than how to finish a contract, is: Is the condo ready to terminate this contract and, today, if they happen?
