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.

Dispute Resolution and Venue

Why This Matters: Unfavorable venue or lack of ADR may lead to protracted and expensive litigation. Clear resolution mechanisms accelerate dispute handling and reduce legal fees.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Manager:

Ensure the dispute resolution clause aligns with the company's operational jurisdictions to minimize travel and legal costs. Opt for mediation as a first step to preserve business relationships.

If you're the Landlord:

Negotiate for a venue that is convenient and cost-effective for the contractor. Advocate for arbitration to ensure a binding resolution without court involvement.
