• How to get a contract nulled

  Asked in Richton Park, IL | December 2, 2025

  Signed a 3 year contract with a landscaper /snow plowing. Technically the contract was supposed to start 12/1/25 but due to early snow storm came and plowed a path. Was supposed to come back and fix the remainder of the lot and has not. We keep getting told they will come and don't then the excuse is they are tending to clients that signed contract prior to us. Meanwhile we have elderly people who are now having issues moving around as the contract states: "...will commence snow plowing at 1" if snow is on the pavement.... will plow all snow and/or slush in a workman-like manner fromall paved areas whenever there has been snowfall, drifting snow, and/or accumulation of slush. Areas to be clear of snow are as follows:parking lots, truck lanes, and all parking spots that can be cleared. Any snow event under 1" or if an ice storm event occurs, all areas will be salted". Contract will be billed in 4 monthly installments. Invoices are due upon receipt.3% late fee may be assessed after 30 days of the invoice date.How do we get out of this contract?
