Property Management Agreement —

Successful property management agreements begin with clear expectations and good communications. Achieve both with the Socrates Property Management Agreement form!

Many landlords will say that finding a good property manager was one of the best things they ever did, giving them more time to expand their business and live their lives. But miscommunications and misunderstandings can be costly indeed! That’s why this Property Management Agreement from Socrates is so essential. For just $9.95, it documents who, what, where, when, and for how much — addressing all the details and leaving nothing to chance!

Don’t start a property management relationship without this form!

The Socrates Property Management Agreement helps you arrange the terms of hire for a property manager to look after your property, decide what tasks will be performed by whom, and document how much the property manager will be paid.

Some landlords like to handle most of the details themselves. Others prefer to be “hands off.” And most landlords are somewhere in the middle — taking care of the parts of the job they enjoy, and delegating to a property manager those responsibilities that they don’t want to address themselves, or for which they desire more expertise.

• Leasing: who handles the advertising, shows the units, chooses the tenants and takes care of all the legal disclosures?
• Property Turnover: who manages the inspection and cleanup and takes care of maintenance requirements between tenants?
• Rent Collection: who collects rent, makes deposits, provides receipts, addresses delinquent conditions and informs tenants of rent increases?
• Maintenance: who performs regular drive-by inspections, keeps maintenance logs, takes care of the grounds, and manages snow removal?
• Repairs: who deals with stopped toilets, broken appliances, electrical work, heat and air conditioning?

It’s always the little things that make any deal go awry. And when disputes occur, the costs and delays can add up fast! That’s why the Property Management Agreement from Socrates documents everything and is completely flexible based on your preferences and property requirements. It takes the guesswork out of contracting with a property manager, by clearly and concisely establishing the terms, conditions and expectations.
