Jetz Services Ron Summers Terrible Experience, This Company Colorado Springs, Colorado

I purchased a property that had a per-exhisting contract with Jetz services (the contract had been in existence since 1986).  We have a small coin laundry, and even though the machines look like they were made in the 1980's, we just continued on with them.

About 18 months after purchase, I asked about the terms of the lease.  Their answer? "Oh, well, it autorenewed, and this new contract expires 5 years from now"

Five years?  There's nothing so good about this company that would mean I want to commit 5 years to them.  I asked if we could reset to a 1 year lease, with a 1 month termination.  Ron Summers, the impolite chump from Jetz, responded "Can't go back in time.  Sorry!"

I tried to be reasonable.  I tried to explain that there was no company that I was so dedicated to that I wanted to sign a 5 year contract, especially for an antiquated coin laundry machine that looks like it could be purchased off Craigslist for $50.  Their position was - I should have looked at the contract that came with the property.  Which is fair - but refusing to negotiate a new lease with a new owner?  Locking the property into a 5 year contract that runs on negative-option continuity - meaning, the client has to say "GO AWAY" a quarter of a year before the lease expires in order to modify anything?  Well, maybe some people enjoy that - I don't.

So - if you like getting locked into half-decade contracts, that have negative-option autorenew clauses that go 3 months out, then make sure to pick Jetz Services.
