The Property Management Contract serves as the primary legal instrument governing the relationship between property owners and professional property management companies in South Africa. This document is essential when property owners wish to delegate the day-to-day management of their real estate assets to professional managers. It encompasses crucial elements such as service scope, fee structures, maintenance protocols, and financial management procedures, while ensuring compliance with South African legislation, particularly the Property Practitioners Act 2019, Rental Housing Act, and Consumer Protection Act. The contract is designed to protect both parties' interests while establishing clear operational guidelines and performance metrics for effective property management.
