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.

Environmental Liability

Why This Matters: Unchecked environmental liabilities can result in significant cleanup costs and regulatory penalties. Early risk allocation and disclosure prevent unexpected remediation expenses.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Manager:

Ensure compliance with all environmental laws and regulations. Limit liability to actions directly caused by the tenant and require a comprehensive existing condition report.

If you're the Landlord:

Require the tenant to bear the costs of remediation for any contamination they cause. Insist on obtaining an existing condition report to document pre-existing issues.

Essential elements

1

Environmental Compliance

Adherence to environmental laws.
2

Remediation Obligations

Responsibilities for contamination cleanup.
3

Liability for Contamination

Indemnification for hazardous materials.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if the clause lacks clear compliance obligations or cost allocation.

EDIT

Reject if the clause exposes the tenant to unknown pre-existing liabilities.

ADD

Add language requiring an existing condition report if absent.

PRO TIP

Always obtain a detailed environmental condition report before lease commencement to avoid unforeseen liabilities.

Real-world examples

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Industrial Sites

In high-risk industrial sites, ensure more stringent compliance and frequent environmental audits to mitigate potential liabilities.

For urban redevelopment, focus on historical contamination and require detailed site assessments to manage legacy issues.

Greenfield Developments

In greenfield developments, prioritize preventive measures and environmental impact assessments to maintain compliance.
