Property Management Agreement

A Property Management Agreement sets the terms under which an agent manages real estate on behalf of an owner. This playbook outlines duties of care, indemnification, and compensation structures.

Assignment and Subletting

Why This Matters: Restrictive assignment or sublease terms can impair operational flexibility and exit strategies. Clear consent processes reduce the risk of unwarranted refusals.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Manager:

Negotiate for broad assignment rights with minimal restrictions. Ensure that consent is not unreasonably withheld and establish a clear timeframe for landlord's response.

If you're the Landlord:

Ensure that any assignment or subletting does not compromise the property's value or tenant mix. Require detailed information about the assignee or subtenant to make informed consent decisions.

Essential elements

1

Consent Requirement

Landlord's prior written consent.
2

Conditions for Consent

Assignee assumes lease obligations.
3

Release of Liability

Conditions for tenant's release.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if consent procedures are vague or overly restrictive.

EDIT

Reject if the clause allows arbitrary refusal of consent.

ADD

Add language for automatic consent if no response in set time.

PRO TIP

Always specify a reasonable timeframe for landlord's response to consent requests.

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Value Lease or Strategic Location

In high-value or strategic locations, ensure assignment rights are flexible to adapt to business needs. Engage senior counsel for tailored provisions.

Short-Term Leases

For short-term leases, prioritize ease of assignment to facilitate quick business pivots or exits.

Co-Working Spaces

In co-working spaces, ensure subletting rights to accommodate fluctuating team sizes and collaborative opportunities.
