A Virginia property management agreement is a document that relays the working relationship between an owner of commercial or residential real estate and the professional they’ve selected to oversee its rental/leasing. The contract, signed by both parties, relays the duties of the property manager (such as rent negotiation, tenant screening, rent collection) while providing a clear breakdown of the manner in which they will be compensated for their services. A thorough contract will also include the rights and responsibilities of the landlord. Both parties must sign for the agreement to be considered legally binding.
