We rent our home through a property management company and we have been informed that the property is for sale. The property manager, who is also the listing agent, would like to property to be vacant for showings and has given us a thirty day notice to terminate the lease 1 month early, if we agree. We really want to move and have found a better place to live, however, he now stipulates that we would have to agree to have his property management fee for one month taken out of our security deposit. We are not terminating the lease and shouldn’t the owner be responsible for this amount?

The complex I live in requires that each tenant have renters insurance because the management suffered losses from damages as a result of the tenants’ negligence. I want to have the freedom to choose the company that I buy it from — but they want to increase my rent in order to cover for the premiums. The management company in turn buys a policy for each unit. Can they do that ? I live in California.
