Managing Texas real estate requires a precise legal framework to mitigate risks like habitability violations and HUD-related disputes. This Texas-specific contract ensures your property manager is bound by clear job descriptions and performance expectations while adhering to the Texas Business and Commerce Code's strict non-compete rules. By formalizing the employment relationship, you protect your assets from local liability and clarify complex responsibilities like security deposit handling and eviction procedures under Texas state landlord-tenant laws.
Beyond the standard employment contract sections, this template adds fields specific to Property Manager:
An employment contract establishes a formal employment relationship between an employer and an employee, outlining the terms and conditions of employment, rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties. It provides legal protection and clarity, ensuring compliance with employment laws and minimizing the risk of misunderstandings and disputes.
Tenant Disputes
Utilize clear lease agreements that outline tenant responsibilities and dispute resolution processes.
Habitability Violations
Include clauses in leases that specify maintenance processes and consistently conduct property inspections to ensure compliance.
For this employment contract to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
Under Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 15.50, a non-compete is enforceable only if it is ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement at the time it is made, meaning it must be supported by adequate consideration and limited in geographical scope and duration to protect legitimate business interests.
Yes, our template includes specific professional conduct expectations and non-discrimination clauses to ensure the property manager complies with the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), mitigating your risk of federal investigation or tenant lawsuits.
While Texas is an at-will state, the contract establishes a clear framework for the relationship. It includes the required 'Employment Term and Termination' clause, ensuring that while the employment remains at-will, the expectations for notice and the return of sensitive items (like master keys or tenant records) are legally defined.
The contract includes provisions requiring the property manager to adhere to the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, ensuring they handle all EPA-required disclosures for properties built before 1978 to avoid significant federal penalties.
