Lease Agreement

What is a standard lease agreement? It is a legally binding contract between a tenant and a landlord that spells out each party’s duties.

The agreement governs the obligations of both sides, including the number of people that can live in an apartment, subletting rules, the responsibilities of each party, and what to do if one or both sides fail to follow the rules.

It’s important to remember that lease agreements safeguard both the landlord and the tenant. As a result, the more comprehensive a lease agreement is, the less likely it is that there will be misunderstandings — or legal problems — over the course of the lease.

What is the purpose of a Property Management Agreement?

Having a property manager on your team can provide a lot of advantages for you as a landlord. A property manager will take on the responsibilities for renting, repairing, and other day-to-day running of the property, which frees your time and allows you to concentrate on growing your business. The property management agreement allows you to clarify responsibilities for each party signing the contract, the identity of the property that will be managed, as well as the specific terms and conditions.

What Should a Landlord Include in a Property Management Agreement?

We highly recommend including a thirty-day notice kick-out clause because it will provide security to the owner. It guarantees safe conditions if the property stays vacant and the property manager is not performing duties effectively.

We recommend including these six things in a property management agreement:

  • Service charges and fees
  • The property owner’s obligations
  • Equal and fair housing
  • Accountability
  • The length of the contract
  • Termination clause

When Does a Property Management Agreement Become Effective?

The typical duration of a property management agreement is one year, with wording that allows either party to terminate at any point if the terms are not satisfied.
