Some friends of ours apparently had their property with IMS which was then taken over by Leaders, cutting a long story short, they had the most terrible time with them, they apparently found Leaders and the contractors that Leaders recommend to be totally incompetent! Our friends just kept complaining and finally Leaders apparently terminated their contract! so, I would suggest to just keep on being a bloody nuisance and they will kick you out!!!!!!! My friends now have a new agent running th ...
