Q: Our waste removal contract requires 60 day notice to cancel before our expired contract auto renews. Can we break this?
The contract expires 3/8/2021. We notified the waste removal company that we intend not to renew the contract on 2/23/2021, but contract terms force us into renewal unless a certified letter was mailed on or prior to 1/8/2021. We are not happy with service, and we would like to avoid this ongoing involuntary business relationship.
A:
The renewal provision is probably enforceable.
If the hauler is not performing in accordance with the contract, notify it in writing of the deficiency. Perhaps you can terminate the contract if the deficiency is not cured. Without a copy of the contract, I am at a disadvantage in trying to identify your options.
