This Non-Disclosure Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into as of [effective_date] (the "Effective Date"), by and between [disclosing_party] (the "Disclosing Party") and [receiving_party] (the "Receiving Party"). The Disclosing Party and the Receiving Party may be referred to herein individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."
WHEREAS, the Disclosing Party possesses certain confidential and proprietary information relating to its business, operations, products, services, research, development, technical data, trade secrets, and other matters (collectively, "Confidential Information"); and
WHEREAS, the Receiving Party desires to receive, and the Disclosing Party is willing to disclose, certain Confidential Information for the purpose of evaluating or pursuing a potential business relationship between the Parties (the "Purpose"); and
WHEREAS, as a condition to the disclosure of such Confidential Information, the Disclosing Party requires that the Receiving Party agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
"Confidential Information" means any and all non-public information, in any form or medium, whether written, oral, electronic, visual, or otherwise, that is disclosed by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party, either directly or indirectly, including but not limited to: [confidential_info]. Confidential Information shall also include any notes, analyses, compilations, studies, summaries, or other materials prepared by the Receiving Party that contain, reflect, or are derived from Confidential Information. Confidential Information shall not include information that: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public through no fault, act, or omission of the Receiving Party; (b) was already in the Receiving Party's possession without restriction prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party, as evidenced by the Receiving Party's written records; (c) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Confidential Information, as evidenced by the Receiving Party's written records; or (d) is obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party who is not, to the Receiving Party's knowledge, under any obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information.
The Receiving Party agrees that it shall: (a) hold the Confidential Information in strict confidence and protect it with at least the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care; (b) not disclose, publish, or otherwise disseminate the Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; (c) use the Confidential Information solely for the Purpose and not for any other purpose whatsoever; (d) limit access to the Confidential Information to those of its employees, officers, directors, agents, advisors, and representatives (collectively, "Representatives") who have a need to know such information for the Purpose and who are bound by obligations of confidentiality no less restrictive than those contained herein; and (e) be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of its Representatives. The Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party in writing upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by applicable law, regulation, or valid court order or subpoena (a "Legal Requirement"), provided that the Receiving Party: (a) provides the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice of such Legal Requirement prior to disclosure (to the extent legally permissible), so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy; (b) cooperates with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party's expense, in seeking such protective order or other remedy; and (c) discloses only that portion of the Confidential Information that the Receiving Party is legally required to disclose, as advised by its legal counsel. Any Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to a Legal Requirement shall continue to be treated as Confidential Information for all other purposes under this Agreement.
This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated by either Party upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the other Party. Notwithstanding any termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Receiving Party's obligations of confidentiality with respect to all Confidential Information disclosed during the term of this Agreement shall survive and continue for a period as specified below from the date of disclosure of each item of Confidential Information.
Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, or upon the written request of the Disclosing Party at any time, the Receiving Party shall promptly: (a) return to the Disclosing Party all originals and copies of any documents, materials, and other tangible items containing or embodying Confidential Information; or (b) at the Disclosing Party's option, destroy all such documents, materials, and tangible items and provide the Disclosing Party with a written certification signed by an authorized officer of the Receiving Party confirming that all such materials have been destroyed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may retain one (1) archival copy of the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of monitoring its ongoing obligations under this Agreement, and any Confidential Information retained in routine backup systems shall be subject to the continuing confidentiality obligations of this Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting to the Receiving Party any license, right, title, or interest in or to the Confidential Information, or any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property right of the Disclosing Party. All Confidential Information shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the Disclosing Party. The Disclosing Party makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose of the Confidential Information. The Receiving Party acknowledges that it shall use the Confidential Information at its own risk.
The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement may cause irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party for which monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security. Such equitable relief shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for any breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of [state_law], without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Each Party irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the State of [state_law] for the adjudication of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any objection it may have to such jurisdiction or venue, including any objection based on inconvenient forum.
9.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written, between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof. 9.2 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. 9.3 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by both Parties. 9.4 Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving Party. The failure of either Party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that Party's right to enforce that provision or any other provision of this Agreement in the future. 9.5 Assignment. The Receiving Party may not assign or transfer this Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party. Any attempted assignment in violation of this provision shall be void and of no effect. 9.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 9.7 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, sent by confirmed electronic mail, or sent by nationally recognized overnight courier to the addresses of the Parties as set forth in the preamble of this Agreement, or to such other address as either Party may designate in writing.
The Receiving Party acknowledges that any unauthorized disclosure of tenant financial data, security deposit records, or maintenance histories may constitute an unfair or deceptive act under the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law (73 P.S. § 201-1 et seq.). The Receiving Party warrants that it shall maintain all shared information in strict confidence and shall not use such information in any manner that could expose the Disclosing Party to liability for tenant disputes or habitability violations. This obligation survives termination and is enforceable in addition to any remedies available under the common law of Pennsylvania.
Pursuant to the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 and Pennsylvania landlord-tenant law, all lead-based paint disclosures, inspection reports, and habitability maintenance logs shared under this Agreement are deemed Confidential Information. The Receiving Party agrees to treat these records with the highest degree of care, to limit access solely to personnel who require the information for the Permitted Purpose, and to return or destroy all copies within seven (7) days of project completion or upon written demand. Failure to comply may result in statutory penalties and exposure to claims under both federal and Pennsylvania law.
To the extent the Disclosing Party shares vendor payment schedules or employee wage data, the Receiving Party covenants to handle such information in full compliance with the Pennsylvania Wage Payment and Collection Law (43 P.S. § 260.1 et seq.). The Receiving Party shall implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards at least as rigorous as those required for protected health information under HIPAA, adapted to the property management context. Any breach shall entitle the Disclosing Party to immediate injunctive relief in the Courts of Common Pleas of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without the necessity of posting bond.
When the Receiving Party is a contractor performing home improvements on Pennsylvania rental properties, it represents that it holds all licenses required under the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act (73 P.S. § 517.1 et seq.) and shall not disclose proprietary maintenance protocols, bid pricing, or tenant complaint patterns obtained hereunder to any unlicensed third party. This clause is intended to prevent unfair competition and to protect the Disclosing Party’s business methods in accordance with Pennsylvania regulatory standards governing licensed contractors.

As a property manager in Pennsylvania, you regularly handle highly sensitive information including tenant credit reports, security deposit ledgers, maintenance vendor contracts, and occupancy data that directly impacts your vacancy rate and fair housing compliance. Imagine you are onboarding a new maintenance contractor to service multiple rental units in Philadelphia when you must share detailed habitability inspection reports and lead-based paint disclosures required under the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992. Without a tailored non-disclosure agreement for property manager in Pennsylvania, that contractor could inadvertently or intentionally disclose protected tenant information, exposing you to tenant disputes, security deposit claims, or even violations of the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law (73 P.S. § 201-1 et seq.). Pennsylvania’s Wage Payment and Collection Law (43 P.S. § 260.1 et seq.) further heightens risk when sharing payroll or vendor payment data with third parties. This NDA ensures clear definition of confidential information, strict obligations on receiving parties, and enforceable remedies under Pennsylvania law, giving you the legal shield needed to collaborate safely while safeguarding your business from costly litigation and regulatory penalties common in tenant disputes and fair housing investigations.
Beyond the standard non-disclosure agreement sections, this template adds fields specific to Property Manager:
The core legal purpose of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is to establish a legal framework to protect confidential and proprietary information shared between parties. It restricts the unauthorized disclosure or use of such information, thereby enabling parties to collaborate, negotiate, or explore business opportunities while safeguarding sensitive information.
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.
Security Deposit Disputes
Maintain detailed records of property conditions at move-in and move-out, and specify deposit handling procedures in lease agreements.
Violation of Fair Housing Laws
Implement and train staff on fair housing policies, and include non-discrimination clauses in rental agreements.
For this non-disclosure agreement to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
Fair Housing Act
The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing-related activities, including rentals by property managers, based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability.
Enforced by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
This law requires property managers to ensure that their properties are accessible to individuals with disabilities, particularly in public and commercial buildings.
Enforced by U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)
Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992
This regulation requires property managers to disclose any known lead paint hazards in properties built before 1978.
Enforced by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
State Landlord-Tenant Laws
These are state-specific laws that govern the relationship between landlords, property managers, and tenants, including lease terms, eviction procedures, and security deposits.

Pennsylvania property managers face unique risks under the Fair Housing Act, the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law (73 P.S. § 201-1 et seq.), and state landlord-tenant statutes governing security deposits and habitability. A standard NDA fails to address these; this document explicitly protects tenant records, maintenance logs, and lead-paint disclosures while citing Pennsylvania jurisdiction to ensure enforceability in local courts.
Confidential information must include tenant application data, rent rolls, security deposit accounting, vendor pricing, habitability violation logs, and any details that could trigger Fair Housing Act complaints or security deposit disputes. The agreement excludes publicly available data but requires Pennsylvania-specific protections for records subject to the Right-to-Know Law and the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992.
The term should extend at least two years beyond the end of the business relationship, with surviving obligations for trade secrets. Pennsylvania courts, applying 13 Pa.C.S. § 2201 and the state’s Statute of Frauds (33 Pa.C.S. § 6), enforce reasonable durations; indefinite terms risk being struck down. This NDA allows you to set a clear, enforceable duration tailored to ongoing tenant and vendor relationships.
Yes. Pennsylvania property managers routinely share maintenance request histories, inspection photos, and repair bids with contractors. This form includes role-specific fields for vendor identification and requires compliance with the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act (73 P.S. § 517.1 et seq.), ensuring vendors cannot use your proprietary processes or tenant data outside the agreed scope.
