We have a non-union super in our co-op that we are thinking of replacing. About how long does it take to find a good, non-union super? About how long should we plan on transitioning out the current super (who has a rent free unit but does not own shares) - should we give him notice and let him take about 3 months to clear out?
we recently hired a new super. the Super's Club website is a good source of candidates. look at the resumes posted by those seeking positions.
Need to know what the hiring package has, 1 or 2 bedroom apartment, parking etc. I could get you some resumes from my members who be looking. Please let me know.

The time you permit is dependant on the reason he is being let go... is there animosity? Do you expect a fight? is there a severance?
typically, if there is an issue and you expect a challenge you would provide official written notice (terminating employment in 30 days and tenancy in 60-90), immediately begin a holdover to cover yourself and work out a severance agreement (if any). put it all on paper, make the severance contingent on his leaving by a certain date, and sign it.
I can send you a good termination, severance and indemnification via email if you like..
Good supers are a dime a dozen right now... I would take advantage of the sites and referrals provided by the other posters here.

Well I worked for close to 7yrs as a non union super and I have never had a problem. I now work as a resident manager in which my position is unionized. In order on finding the right candidate, it all depends on what your compensation package is! and ofcourse the size of the apt. I had a very good offer for a live in resident manager positon in a newly constructed luxury condo which I had to delcine due to the fact that the job came with a 1 one bedroom apt, I am a family of 4 which includes 2 small children under the age of 7. Needless to say the manager and develpoer both were not happy. So it all depends on what your offering and how you want him to manage your building. if you want to micro manage then you will be changing supers more frequently then you would like. As far as giving him 3months notice. All depends on why you want him out? is he a threat? is he negligent to the needs of the building or its residents? if so then maybe before winter comes along you might want to make a change.
