In order to terminate a contract with a contractor the contractor must have committed a material breach of the contract, and the property owner must not be in breach of the contract at that time. A property owner is advised to give notice of the breach and provide for a time to cure the breach before declaring that the contract is terminated. Of course, the contract between the property owner and the contractor may provide explicit conditions for when the contract may be terminated as well as the procedure for termination. Before terminating a contract it is strongly recommended that a property owner seek legal advice as contract termination can have serious legal consequences.
