How to fire a property manager?
We have a property out of state and have a property manager. This guy has charged us for pool cleaning fees over the $200 stated in the contract and says that it was out of the last tenants deposit which he did take out of the deposit but also charged us for the cleaning too. Also, he did not have any thing in the new lease to protect us as owners if something happened to anyone in the pool. These are just a few things he has done. We just want out of this contact with this company do we have to sue or what if we just fire him and wait for him to sue us?

The best way to terminate the property manager that you are unhappy with is to carefully read the presumed property management agreement to see if there is a basis to terminate him assuming the agreement has a period of time left under it. From there, go consult with a real estate/business attorney about your concerns and desires and figure out if there is a basis to end the relationship without recourse and if so, do the following:
1. look for a new property manager.
2. terminate the one you have when you secure a new property manager.
