Managing Florida real estate involves complex liabilities, from Chapter 718 Condominium Act compliance to strict fair housing standards. A generic agreement isn't enough to protect against tenant disputes, habitability violations, or security deposit claims. This specialized employment contract ensures your Property Manager understands their specific duties regarding maintenance, HOA management, and vacancy rates while strictly adhering to Florida Statutes Chapter 542 regarding non-competes. By clearly defining job descriptions and dispute resolution procedures, you mitigate the risk of costly litigation under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and federal HUD regulations.
Beyond the standard employment contract sections, this template adds fields specific to Property Manager:

For this employment contract to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
Under Fla. Stat. § 542.335, non-compete agreements are enforceable only if they protect legitimate business interests, such as trade secrets or substantial customer relationships. The clause must be reasonable in time, area, and line of business. Our contract includes specific provisions to ensure these restrictive covenants meet Florida's strict scrutiny standards.
The contract must account for liabilities involving the Fair Housing Act, ADA accessibility, and the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act. Additionally, it should clarify the manager's role in handling security deposits and eviction procedures to ensure compliance with Florida's landlord-tenant laws and the Whistleblower’s Act (Fla. Stat. § 448.101).
Yes. In Florida, property managers who lease or sell properties or handle significant transactions are generally required to hold a Real Estate Broker License. Our contract allows you to specify all professional licenses to ensure the employee is legally qualified to perform their duties.
Yes, Florida recognizes electronic signatures as legally binding. Our contract generation process adheres to electronic signature laws, ensuring the document is enforceable provided there is clear consent from both the employer and the property manager.
