neutral  eesegura: I don't see where the context indicates cancellation of services. (Thanks for your answer, Sheilann.)

  -> Resolución de contrato does mean cancel a contract in legalese. If the owner wanted to change supplier, he'd have to cancel existing contracts.
agree  moken: Hi Sheila. This is DEFINITELY the meaning conveyed. My only doubt is whether the administrator would be involved in getting bills paid by occupiers (hence settle), but I doubt it to be quite honest. :O) :O)

settle


Explanation:
Hi Jane,

My reading, though I'm not a legalese expert. By settle I understand either or both the settlement of bills and/or contracts.

Good luck!

cancel, terminate


Explanation:
Both terms have been proposed already, and I agree with them both. "Resuelva" is the legal word meaning "put an end to", cancel or terminate those contracts, with the same authority that he is enabled to sign them.
