I'm here to help you navigate this situation with your former property manager. Let's break down the steps you can take to address the unauthorized changes and spending:

Gather Evidence. Start by collecting all relevant documents and communications related to your agreement with the manager. This includes any contracts, emails, or written communications that outline the agreed-upon terms and any changes made without your consent. Document any unauthorized spending with receipts or financial statements.
Review Your Contract. Carefully review the contract you had with the manager. Look for clauses related to payment terms and any provisions about making changes to the agreement. This will help you understand your legal standing and whether the manager breached the contract. (NV Rev Stat § 645.633)
Attempt Informal Resolution. Before taking legal action, try to resolve the issue directly with the manager. Contact them to discuss the unauthorized changes and spending. Present your evidence and express your concerns. Sometimes, a direct conversation can lead to a resolution without further conflict.
Send a Formal Letter. If informal discussions don't resolve the issue, draft a formal letter to the manager. Clearly outline the unauthorized actions, attach evidence, and request a resolution. Sending this letter via certified mail can ensure it is received and taken seriously.
Consult an Attorney. If the issue remains unresolved, consider consulting with a real estate attorney familiar with Nevada law. They can provide legal advice tailored to your situation and help you understand your options, including potential legal action.
Consider Legal Action. If all else fails, you may need to consider legal action. This could involve filing a lawsuit for breach of contract or seeking restitution for unauthorized spending. An attorney can guide you through this process and help you assess the likelihood of success.

Please let me know if you have further questions or need clarification on any of these steps.

I have an issue with my former property manager in that she changed the percentage she was getting paid without my authority and also spent company money without my authority in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I understand how frustrating it can be to deal with unauthorized changes and spending. Can you tell me how long this situation has been occurring?

I don't know, as she did this without my authority, for many years.

Have you already attempted to address this issue with your former manager or taken any steps to resolve it?
