Additional Provisions

Compliance with Georgia Fair Business Practices Act and Fair Housing Obligations

Employee agrees to strictly comply with the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act (O.C.G.A. § 10-1-390 et seq.) and the federal Fair Housing Act in all tenant screening, lease agreement preparation, advertising, and eviction proceedings. Employee shall complete annual fair housing training and maintain records of all reasonable accommodation requests under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Any violation of these obligations, including failure to disclose lead-based paint hazards as required by the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, constitutes immediate grounds for termination for cause. Management company may require periodic audits of tenant files to ensure ongoing compliance with these statutes. (112 words)

At-Will Employment and Termination for Cause under Georgia Law

This agreement does not create a contract for a definite term. Consistent with O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1, employment remains at-will and may be terminated by either party with or without cause and without notice, except as otherwise required by law. Notwithstanding at-will status, the following acts by the Property Manager shall constitute termination for cause: (i) material breach of maintenance or habitability standards leading to tenant claims, (ii) failure to properly handle security deposit refunds in accordance with Georgia landlord-tenant law, or (iii) violation of fair housing policies. Upon termination, Employee shall immediately return all keys, access codes, and tenant files. (98 words)

For a period of eighteen (18) months following termination, Employee shall not, within the Georgia counties identified in Section 1(c), directly or indirectly manage competing rental properties, solicit HOA or landlord clients, or recruit employees of the Company. These restrictions are narrowly tailored to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests in client relationships, tenant lists, and proprietary maintenance systems developed during employment. The parties agree that these covenants are reasonable in time, geography, and scope as required by the Georgia Restrictive Covenants Act, O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50 et seq., and are essential to prevent unfair competition in the property management industry. (104 words)

Maintenance, Habitability, and Security Deposit Record-Keeping Requirements

Employee shall maintain complete and accurate records of all property inspections, maintenance requests, and security deposit condition reports in accordance with Georgia landlord-tenant statutes. Employee agrees to conduct move-in and move-out inspections using Company-approved checklists and to retain photographic evidence for at least four years. Failure to preserve such records that results in a security deposit dispute or habitability claim shall be considered a material breach.

Additional Provisions

Compliance with Georgia Fair Business Practices Act and Fair Housing Obligations

Employee agrees to strictly comply with the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act (O.C.G.A. § 10-1-390 et seq.) and the federal Fair Housing Act in all tenant screening, lease agreement preparation, advertising, and eviction proceedings. Employee shall complete annual fair housing training and maintain records of all reasonable accommodation requests under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Any violation of these obligations, including failure to disclose lead-based paint hazards as required by the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, constitutes immediate grounds for termination for cause. Management company may require periodic audits of tenant files to ensure ongoing compliance with these statutes. (112 words)

At-Will Employment and Termination for Cause under Georgia Law

This agreement does not create a contract for a definite term. Consistent with O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1, employment remains at-will and may be terminated by either party with or without cause and without notice, except as otherwise required by law. Notwithstanding at-will status, the following acts by the Property Manager shall constitute termination for cause: (i) material breach of maintenance or habitability standards leading to tenant claims, (ii) failure to properly handle security deposit refunds in accordance with Georgia landlord-tenant law, or (iii) violation of fair housing policies. Upon termination, Employee shall immediately return all keys, access codes, and tenant files. (98 words)

Restrictive Covenants Enforceable under O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50 et seq.

For a period of eighteen (18) months following termination, Employee shall not, within the Georgia counties identified in Section 1(c), directly or indirectly manage competing rental properties, solicit HOA or landlord clients, or recruit employees of the Company. These restrictions are narrowly tailored to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests in client relationships, tenant lists, and proprietary maintenance systems developed during employment. The parties agree that these covenants are reasonable in time, geography, and scope as required by the Georgia Restrictive Covenants Act, O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50 et seq., and are essential to prevent unfair competition in the property management industry. (104 words)

Maintenance, Habitability, and Security Deposit Record-Keeping Requirements

Employee shall maintain complete and accurate records of all property inspections, maintenance requests, and security deposit condition reports in accordance with Georgia landlord-tenant statutes. Employee agrees to conduct move-in and move-out inspections using Company-approved checklists and to retain photographic evidence for at least four years. Failure to preserve such records that results in a security deposit dispute or habitability claim shall be considered a material breach. Employee further warrants that all properties managed will remain in compliance with applicable habitability standards and that any known lead-based paint hazards will be disclosed pursuant to EPA regulations.

Why You Need This Employment Contract

Property Managers servicing multifamily and commercial properties in Georgia are frequently sued when a terminated employee immediately joins a competitor, solicits former HOA clients, and mishandles tenant security deposits or fair housing complaints. A properly drafted employment contract for property manager in Georgia protects your management company by clearly defining responsibilities such as lease administration, eviction proceedings, maintenance request coordination, and vacancy rate management while incorporating Georgia-specific protections. Under O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1, Georgia remains an at-will employment state, but courts will enforce written agreements that detail termination for cause related to habitability violations or Fair Housing Act breaches. The contract must also comply with the Georgia Restrictive Covenants Act (O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50 et seq.), which allows reasonable non-compete and non-solicitation clauses tied to the geographic areas you manage. Without these tailored provisions, you risk disputes over security deposit refunds, ADA accessibility failures, or lead-based paint disclosure violations under federal EPA rules that property managers must follow. This document minimizes exposure to tenant disputes, ensures compliance with the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act, and provides clear performance metrics around occupancy rates and maintenance response times that are unique to property management workflows in Atlanta, Savannah, and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

Is Georgia an at-will employment state for property managers?

Yes. O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1 establishes Georgia as an at-will employment jurisdiction, meaning a property management company can terminate a property manager with or without cause provided the reason is not illegal (such as retaliation for reporting Fair Housing violations). However, a well-drafted employment contract for property manager in Georgia can still specify performance expectations around tenant disputes, habitability standards, and security deposit handling to reduce wrongful termination claims. Courts will look to the written agreement when an implied contract argument arises.

02

Can I include a non-compete clause in a Georgia property manager employment contract?

Yes, but it must comply with the Georgia Restrictive Covenants Act, O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50 et seq. The clause must be reasonable in duration (typically two years or less), geographic scope (limited to counties where the management company operates), and scope of restricted activities (e.g., managing competing rental properties or soliciting HOA clients). Overly broad restrictions are unenforceable. Including this tailored language in your employment contract for property manager in Georgia is essential to protect client lists and trade secrets developed while overseeing lease agreements and evictions.

03

What Fair Housing and ADA obligations should be addressed in the contract?

The contract should require the property manager to adhere to the federal Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In Georgia, property managers must document training on non-discrimination policies covering race, familial status, disability, and other protected classes. The agreement should also include specific duties regarding reasonable accommodations, lead-based paint disclosures per the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, and maintenance protocols that prevent habitability violations. These clauses reduce the risk of costly tenant disputes and regulatory complaints in Georgia.

04

How should security deposit and maintenance responsibilities be handled in the employment contract?

Explicitly outline the property manager’s duty to maintain detailed move-in/move-out inspection records, comply with Georgia landlord-tenant security deposit return timelines, and coordinate repairs to avoid habitability claims. The contract should reference state-specific procedures for evictions and require adherence to local ordinances. This protects the management company when disputes arise over deductions or delayed maintenance requests that could lead to Fair Business Practices Act complaints under Georgia law.
