Signs It’s Time to Switch
- Calls and emails go unanswered
- Late or confusing owner statements
- Long vacancies or rent set below market
- Repairs that drag on, or invoices you didn’t expect
- Tenant complaints you only hear about later
How to Switch, Step by Step
- Read your management agreement. Look for the termination notice period, any cancellation fee, and who “owns” the tenant placement.
- Line up your new manager first. We review your property, lease, and numbers before you give notice.
- Send written notice. Follow the agreement’s notice terms.
- Transfer records. Lease, tenant ledger, inspection reports, keys, and vendor warranties.
- Transfer the security deposit. Florida law requires the deposit to be handled properly, so the transfer should be documented and the tenant notified.
- Introduce the new manager to the tenant. We send a welcome letter with new payment instructions.
We can take over a home with a tenant already in place.

Switch Property Management Companies FAQ
Will switching managers disrupt my tenant?
It shouldn’t. The lease stays in effect, and the tenant simply gets new payment and maintenance instructions.
Can I switch in the middle of a lease?
Usually yes, depending on your current management agreement.
