[quote=disimilar1]I have a similar issue with a RE Agent who leased a property for me long ago and had it in the contract they were entitled to renewal commissions.
The agency was sold but the agent claimed the contract was assigned over to him. He did cough up an assignment letter after much pulling of teeth. (signed by his friend, the broker who had owned the co that was sold).
Is something like this valid?[/quote]

Looks valid to me. Are you trying to get out of the contract? If you’re still not happy, you could contact the new owners and ask whether they feel at all bound by the old contract.
