More details
Property management agreements define the relationship between a property owner and the management company or individual who handles day-to-day operations. Without a signed agreement, disputes over responsibilities, fees, and authority are common.
Key services typically covered: - Tenant sourcing and screening - Rent collection and arrears management - Property maintenance and repairs - Inspections and inventory management - Financial reporting and accounting - Lease renewals and rent reviews - Emergency response and out-of-hours management
What to include: - Management fee structure (% of rent collected, typically 8-12%) - Leasing/tenant placement fee (typically one month's rent) - Maintenance spending authority (e.g., up to £500 without owner approval) - Reporting schedule (monthly statements, annual summaries) - Insurance requirements - Term and termination conditions - Authority scope (what the manager can do without owner consent)
For property management companies: template your standard agreement and use the API to generate owner-specific versions with property details, fee structures, and service levels. Send for signature when onboarding new landlords.
