Property Management Agreement
R999
Create a property management agreement appointing a manager or agent to manage rental property, tenants, rent collection, inspections, maintenance, reporting, contractors, and owner instructions.
A property management agreement is used where an owner appoints another person or company to manage rental property, tenants, maintenance, inspections, rent collection, deposits, contractor coordination, and reporting.
South African legal context (2026 checklist)
The agreement should clearly define the manager’s authority. If the manager performs estate agency or property practitioner services, the Property Practitioners Act may apply. The agreement should regulate trust money, deposits, reporting, conflict of interest, maintenance approvals, and POPIA obligations.
