Short Answer
Review the termination clause, fee schedule, deposit handling, open work orders, and final accounting before you switch.
Detailed Answer
Specifically: the termination clause (notice period and any early-termination fee); how and when fees are charged (management percentage, leasing, renewal, setup, and any maintenance markups); who holds the security deposit and how it transfers; outstanding work orders and vendor obligations; and how owner funds and final accounting are handled at hand-off. Get the effective date and final statement in writing. This is general information, not legal advice. Consult a licensed attorney for guidance specific to your situation.
