Property management agreements

A property management agreement is more than just a contract—it’s the foundation of a partnership between a property owner and a property management company.

A property management agreement outlines the duties, responsibilities, and expectations on both sides, creating a framework for the seamless management of all types of property.

A well-structured agreement allows owners to focus on their investments without getting caught up in the daily logistics, whilst allowing management companies to operate confidently within clearly defined parameters.

Whether it’s rent collection, property maintenance, or tenant relations, the agreement sets the tone for the professional management of the property, ensuring both parties are aligned in their goals.

Having this clarity reduces the risk of disputes and ensures that the property is managed efficiently.

Understanding property management agreements: What are they?

At its core, a property management agreement gives the management company the authority to handle various tasks related to the upkeep and operation of a property. The agreements typically cover everything from managing tenant issues, conducting repairs, and overseeing maintenance to marketing vacant spaces and ensuring that the rent is collected on time.

It’s crucial to ensure that every aspect of the agreement is well-drafted. The property owner and the management firm need to be clear on their roles and responsibilities.
